HI Cathy, we have a 14 year old Chihuahua(Mexican) that is. Well he can get rather nasty sometimes when you make him do something he doesn’t to do. He will snap at you or even bite. He does have some health issues, catract, losing his hearing, arthritis and just aches probably. My husband really gets angry with him, because he has bitten him an me about 3 times. We get into arguments about it and he would like to hurt him but I tell him no. Should he be put down or let it go. I am not sure what to do, could you give me some suggestions.
Oh wow, Janet. That’s a tough one. Your chi very well could be in pain. And the fact that he has hearing and sight issues is probably confusing him and he may be biting out of fear.
I think I would talk to your vet and ask them if your dog’s health and quality of life is high enough to keep him alive. And if there is anything you can do to help him feel better.
Your vet will probably tell you that it’s a decision you have to make. One thing I always ask professionals is “If he were your dog, what would you do?” I actually had to do this when my mother was dying and they wanted to give her a drug that would make her unconscious so she wouldn’t be in pain, but it would shorten her life. I didn’t know what to do and she wasn’t in a mental state to be able to tell me what she wanted. So I asked the doctor what he would do if she were his mother. And he said he would give her the drug. So I did and I think it was what she would have wanted.
First time on this site …and Love it.

Hi Cathy
My Deerhead Chi Chanel is 6 months old.
I am scared for my baby, she is so picky foodwise, she won’t eat dog biscuits/kibble. She only eats chicken.
Thank you very much for any help you can offer.
Kind regards
Wendy Williams
It’s okay if she eats chicken but she should eat other things too. We have an article on how to make your own dog food if you want to check it out here: https://ilovemychi.com/make-your-own-dog-food/
My heart aches for Pinky’s mom. I know the pain she is feeling as she watches her baby decline. Such a beautiful little angel. She is blessed to have had so many years with this tiny girl, but letting go is the hardest thing she will ever have to do.
(Didn’t see anyplace to post this but here with this article).
My 13 year old chi was diagnosed with CHF but was told if I make sure to take all his meds and eat a very healthy diet and exercise he should live many more years, so how the best way to care for him, I can’t one him he’s my baby…. I’ll do whatever it takes, please help me with the best care ever, thank You
Yes your vet is right. Many dogs live for years after their CHF diagnosis. I’m not sure I can give you any other advice other than what your vet already gave you but we do have a post that may help you here: https://ilovemychi.com/congestive-heart-failure-dogs/
I would love to see photos of the show dog chihuahuas. I always read the desired traits, but I’d like pictures too.
I admire your true grown up attitude about your temporary hair loss and the wig. I had an awful case of Covid last May and my pretty hair has been “letting go” for 3 or 4 months now as I learned that this can be yet another side effect of the
Heavy cases. I hope my loss is temporary, but if not? I’ll have to “get over myself”
Hang in there, Cathy. And may your recovery be one of the best in history 😁🤸🏾♂️🐶
Thanks Jane. I hope your hair loss is temporary too. You may want to look into toppers. They attach to your existing hair so it looks pretty natural if you are able to match your hair color.
