Buyer notes. History 3. I bought a Chihuahua puppy, and his paws refused!

Hello! I decided to share my story of acquiring a puppy, which cost me a dozen gray hairs on my head. I'll start from the very beginning.

For 14 years my family and I had a favorite Nayda dog (mestizo Bolonki and Pekingese). She left us from old age, having lived a happy life and always giving us the most positive emotions. I grieved for a long time and realized that I could calm down, apparently, only when another fluffy little bun appeared in the house. As long as I remember myself, I always dreamed of a Chihuahua: they are so small, cute - how can I not fall in love ?!

On bulletin boards, of course, you can get confused. Some puppies cost $ 150, others - $ 2000. I don’t understand the rocks and their nuances very much, and therefore I simply chose with my heart and soul. Very quickly, I looked after a puppy who was cute sitting in a circle in the photo. His meek look captivated me, but I rather began to call the breeder. In a conversation, everything suited me: the price, the documents, and the parents. We agreed in 2 weeks to pick up the baby already at home.

It should be noted that the next year was just wonderful. Our boy was called Chip, they did not cherish souls in him. The only thing that was embarrassing was the fact that when he walked on his hind foot, he somehow strangely stepped and bounced. When I called the breeder, she said that it’s okay, that’s what the Chihuahua does. As an option, they say, this is due to the fact that the puppy left the first litter and the front legs. I calmed down.

One summer day, the whole family was resting in the country. Chip frolic on the lawn, and then lay down to bask in the sun. I called him to me, he raised his head, but could not get up ...

To say that I was in a panic is to say nothing. The husband is also in shock. We were 50 kilometers from our city, but, of course, we got into the car right there and rushed off to the nearest veterinarian. The doctor said that yes, the Chihuahua supposedly has problems with the paws, you need to make sure that they do not jump from tall objects, play carefully with other animals. Especially if there is such a predisposition as ours.

I want to note that the doctor is a real pro. He very skillfully, but delicately began to massage Chip. Literally 10 minutes passed and Chip ran as if nothing had happened. The veterinarian said that most likely he pulled a bunch somewhere and there was such a nuisance. No additional treatment was required.

With my story I want to show that you need to carefully monitor your four-legged friends, especially such small breeds. Good luck to all!
