“New Puppy Advice for Toy Breeds”
CONGRATULATION ON YOUR NEW FAMILY ADDITION!!!
* TIPS FOR THE FIRST DAY HOME *
Your puppy will be as excited as you are. But he or she may feel timid until the new surroundings begin to feel like home. Don't do anything that will stress the puppy out.
*ALLOW YOUR NEW PUPPY PLENTY OF FREE TIME FOR REST AND SLEEP DURING THE DAY TO AVOID STRESS.
When the weather is chilly it is important to keep them warm, these little pups are so small, keep them away from drafty areas. Do not let them get a chill,
Give them a nice warm blanket to snuggle in.
If you want your Chihuahua to be friendly,
It is important to socialize your Puppy from a very young age.

"Bringing Home A Chihuahua"
AVOID EXCESSIVE HANDING *
There are many sources of stress. Simply moving a puppy to new home, holding him too much, contending with another pet, or being allowed to much playtime are just a few of the many sources of stress. A new puppy is nervous and excited because they are unfamiliar with their surroundings and their new families and this some times causes a lot of stress. Too much excitement can overtire the puppy. A tired puppy will not eat. He only wants to sleep. Missing a meal can be a life threatening thing with a young, small puppy. It can lead to a condition called Hypoglycemia (Low blood sugar) *stress is the leading cause* this can become dangerous if not noticed and tended to immediately. Please take time to read about Hypoglycemia.
I know this first hand, I went through it. Not only did my new little puppy almost loose her life, after days on an IV at the vet and a very big bill, She finally came home.
