I'm new here :-) Greetings to you all, My name is Lisah, I live near Denver, Colorado. I just got a 3-month little girl Chihuahua I named "Iota". She is 2.5 pounds, beautiful light brown & white markings, and an amazing temperament. Since I brought her home, she has been sporadic with eating and drinking, sometimes great, and other times, no interest whatsoever ( I raised Dobermans and Min Pins for 11- years,and was a professional trainer for about 25-years, so this is not new terrain, but I have never owned a Chihuahua) She has a touch of giardia, and also a cough, both of which are being treated, and are not serious. She came with a full health guarantee and from a very good home, her eyes are bright, she loves to play, and it so gentle and sweet. I just adore her, but I would like to know if anyone out there can offer some advice on getting a reluctant pup to eat, and any tips on this breed in general. Eating well is one issue that I never ran across with my Dobies & Min Pins, though I have dealt with it in premature pups, of course. I do have a needle-less syringe for liquids if all else fails, and the old standby, Nutri- Stat, but this isn't enough on a regular basis. Thank you, it's a pleasure to be here!
