Do you ever have the problem where one just doesn't "get it?" If so, how do you work with that issue? (Love the droopy ears at this age)

Never had a problem with Chi pups at 4 weeks refusing solid food. If we did I would simply give them a few more days and try again.

@HappyTrailChihuahuas 11 лет назад

Not for long. They grow fast!

Hi . My chihuahua is 5 weeks old and does not look that big WHATSOEVER......should I be concerned!??

@HappyTrailChihuahuas 11 лет назад

Its a little to tall for them at first, but they grow fast and after another week its not a problem.

@southyatra7336 9 лет назад

What is the food , how you made. i hv to feed my 6 pug puppies and i find v difficult as they not ready to eat. they are now 6weeks old

@HappyTrailChihuahuas 11 лет назад

You can start solid food as soon as they can move around on their own at 3.5 to 4 weeks old. The sooner the better (for the mom). It takes a lot out of the mom to feed 4 to 6 pups for an extended amount of time. She will still nurse them off and on until they are about 6-7 weeks old and some times longer, but not a big meals. By week 8 pups no longer need mom's milk but will try to nurse if mom lets allows, often she will not.

Groud puppy chow, cottage cheese, hot water and some times we add some applesauce also.

@TheItsmegp46 10 лет назад

If she eats enough, doesn't that make up for nursing her babies?

@HappyTrailChihuahuas 10 лет назад

Its not quantity but rather a balanced diet for the mom during nursing. Its always best for the mom to wean the pups as soon as is safe for the pups; start at 3.5 to 4 weeks old. This takes the pressure off the mom and she will have a quicker rebound from the drain on her system that the pregnancy and lactating has had on her. The calcium and mineral drain can be very taxing and cause health problems for the mom. We are now using NuVet Plus supplement for all our Chihuahuas, not just for pregnant and lactating bitches. It has a wealth of vitamins. To order call (800) 474-7044 and use order code 66299 or visit nuvet.com

Happy Trail Chihuahuas The intention was a quality diet. If the mom eats enough of a quality diet, won't that make up for lactation? I mean, lactation is a part of female mammals. I guess I need to study more on the subject.

@HappyTrailChihuahuas 11 лет назад

Cow milk is not good for pups. Cottage cheese has been processed and is good for them.

@blarghnofreenames 11 лет назад

Stop pushing their face in it they will find it by themselves! lol. My kittens just weaned themselves, I put out meat for the adult cats and when they started eating it or becoming interested in the plates, I'd bring out some really tiny diced meat for them and they would munch up.

@ichardmith3926 11 лет назад

Dats bad! U Dont stick head in bowl like that! No wonder dogs get food phobias
