Absolutely not.  This is WAY underweight.  You need to find a vet with 
chihuahua specific experience.  I would recommend a very nutritionally dense 
food (I personally like Innova EVO) and start putting some healthy weight on 
these dogs.  You should be able to feel a healthy dog's ribs and spine, but 
not SEE them.  I would have them checked for parasites and a blood panel 
done.
