I’m fed twice a day. Breakfast is around 8 am daily and dinner is around 6:30 pm. I usually have a healthy treat at lunchtime and occasionally parts of daddy’s lunch falls on the floor. I also get a few snacks after dinner. I’m always on the alert for food dropped on the floor.

Lucy was kept in a large octagonal “playpen” with a piddle pad. She learned to use the piddle pad, both in her pen and out. Eventually she learned to use the piddle pad all the time, until I started taking her for walks. She is now three but I still have the pads out. She does not use them anymore, except in an emergency, and only goes to the bathroom outside.

I’m not a vet so I don’t know what’s wrong with your Chihuahua. I know my last Chihuahua, named Tasha, had seizures throughout her life. Tasha also just stiffened up and became disoriented. When she came out of it she was unsteady for a little while then acted like nothing happened. Eventually she was put on medication which helped keep down the number of seizures. She lived to be 15.

Perhaps you can find a low cost vet or animal clinic in your area. I always felt better after my Chihuahua had seen a vet. You can also search for an online vet. Not as good as seeing one, but maybe better than nothing.

If your Chihuahua is still acting strange, I would take her to the vet to make sure there is nothing physically wrong. Better to be safe than sorry.

Anyone else with a similar problem or advice?

I recommend either going to another vet for re-evalution or finding a low cost pet clinic in your area. Anyone else have any recommendations? Lucy and I wish you lots of luck.
