It doesn't sound like she is overweight (as in too fat) since you can feel her
ribs and your vet said she is average weight. It sounds like she is just going
to be a big Chihuahua. I am not a Chihuahua expert but it sounds like she will
be over 6 pounds at the rate she is going. She weighs more than my Chihuahua
does at 7 months old. Even if she does get larger than 6 pounds, I am sure she
will still make a wonderful, loving pet! My step-mother has a very large
Chihuahua and he is the sweetest guy in the world. He's a big brindle Chi
named Chico. There is a Chihuahua weight chart somewhere online. I will try
to find it and post it. If anyone else has it, please post it so she can get
an idea of her Chi's adult weight.

I saw the mother and she was 7 lbs. the father was 4.5lbs. I cannot visibly see
her ribs, but I can feel them. I took her to the vet and they put that her
weight was average, but I cannot imagine that being average if the breed
standard is set at 6lbs :( I do hope she doesn't get to 10lbs bc the size of
this breed is what first drew me to chis. I have problems lifting heavy things
do to some problems with my elbow. Hopefully it is just a growth spurt and not
an overweight issue. I've cut back on the petsmart training treats I give her.
I used them to train her to use the potty pads. I'm sure that was a factor
