Shaking excessively
No apetito


When dealing with your 15-year-old Chihuahua's excessive shaking and loss of appetite, it's crucial to consider both physical and environmental factors, especially at her age.
Shaking can often indicate discomfort, pain, or anxiety. It might also be a sign that her body temperature has dropped, particularly if she's been in a cooler environment. On the other hand, a loss of appetite could be linked to dental issues, gastrointestinal discomfort, or even stress.
Here are a few steps you can take at home to help her:
Firstly, make sure she is warm and comfortable. Providing her with a cozy blanket or a warm spot to rest can make a significant difference. Next, monitor her eating habits by offering some warm, soft food like boiled chicken or rice. Sometimes, warming the food slightly can make it more appealing to her.
Additionally, gently check her body for any signs of pain or discomfort, such as sensitivity to touch or limping. It's also important to ensure she is drinking enough water, as dehydration can worsen these symptoms. Lastly, try to maintain a calm environment by reducing any stressors, such as loud noises or changes in routine.
If these symptoms persist or worsen, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian. They can conduct a thorough examination to rule out any underlying health issues, especially considering her age.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions. Thank you.
