I hope that you got your dog's allergies taken care of. <BR/>Sam, that sounds like you found something that is working. I need to look into that too.<BR/>Watheleen, could it be possible that your chi is experiencing that backwards coughing sound that is common for them to have or is it just after he eats? It's common for chis to make funny noise sounds but you might want to keep an eye on this. And he could have eaten something outside that bothered him. Last week, my Prissy was not feeling well and wouldn't eat at all, laid around one whole day but she did finally get back to her old self and I never knew what made her sick.Debbie, author of chihuahuas r barkingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34428958.post-84740380706011928552009-03-29T19:45:00.000-05:002009-03-29T19:45:00.000-05:00I am not sure that I am in the right place, but la...I am not sure that I am in the right place, but lately I have been having trouble with my chihuahua. He is 2 years old and 14 pounds. ( Yes, I wrote it correctly.) He is a long haired large chihuahua and lately he has been making a sniffing, wretching sound. It reminds me of Asthma, or something nasal. It has been going on all afternoon. I it possible for a dog to have allergic reactions? He hasn't eaten today and hasn't done much except wander inside and outside. I cannot find anything outside that he might have gotten into either. <BR/><BR/>Well just wondering if anyone has an answer.<BR/>Thanks.Watheleenhttp://www.everydayconnections.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34428958.post-44561026816044629122008-09-08T08:03:00.000-05:002008-09-08T08:03:00.000-05:00I have a 13 month old chi, i had a terrible time w...I have a 13 month old chi, i had a terrible time with him when he was a pup. He kept getting sickness and diarrhea, every time we visited the vets they advised to take him off his dry food (chicken & rice biscuits) and feed him fresh chicken & rice. Which only seemed to make it worse. After months of vicious circles i went to see a dog nutritionist who reccomenden Burns' 'Ocean Fish & rice' dry dog food, touch wood, he's been fine ever since. He's like a completely different dog. Apparantly chicken aggravates the digestive system, and it's a common condition in chi's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34428958.post-28609912743062403232008-04-06T23:15:00.000-05:002008-04-06T23:15:00.000-05:00I've just discovered your blog.

I feed them a mixture of chicken, rice, green beans and carrots. This week, I cut out the carrots and rice, having learned that these two ingredients can cause allergies, and exchanged them for oats. It did occur to me just today that it could be the chicken! Now, from what you've written, I see that it really could cause the allergies. I do hope that I am able to figure this out so that my poor baby can get some relief!<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry that I do not have any suggestions for you. I hope you find a solution.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661620465201847noreply@blogger.com
