Ours were super easy lol. They did it all themselves. Both of my girls did fine
during delivery and had no problems. There can be problems with the pups tho
depending on how many she has or genetics etc. Chi pups get hypoglycemic very
easily. Usually around the time when mom starts weaning. Keep some nutrical on
hand. Both girls had 6 pups each time. We lost a couple of Trixies pups. I
think because she was so small and they prob didn't develop properly. We didn't
lose any of Izzies pups but we had one with a liver shunt and he is doing
great. Hopefully this will continue with the low protein food and meds. The
surgery is extremely expensive. The runt of the litter has all kinds of probs.
Her skull is soft which could develop into hydrocephalus but so far it hasn't.
Her bottom jaw is too short and she has no teeth in the front do her tongue
hangs out a little. She has an umbilical hernia which is very common and her
tail was broken in the womb. Despite all that she eats like a pig and plays
until she drops. She is extremely active and so is the one with the liver
shunt. Izzie did have a false pregnancy her first heat and I didn't even know
she was bred this time until she started getting fat. Her hormones being off
could have had something to do with the probs the pups have. We are not having
any more puppies. Having to keep these last 2 has put me up to six and if I get
anymore I will be the crazy chihuahua lady in the neighborhood lol
I hope I didn't scare you. Chihuahua puppies are the sweetest thing in the
world and it is such a blessing. All of ours have gone to family members or
friends so I get updates and pictures.
If you decide to breed you might talk to your vet and ask if she is built to
have pups. Some have lots of probs having pups but mine didn't at all. Good
luck and please send pics
