Why is my Chihuahua puppy weak and disoriented? Low sugar or calcium?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | 3 months and 12 days old

I have a 3mos old Chihuahua that recently shows sign of weakness, disorientation and eyes are sluggish. We visited a vet today and shows no problem in blood or fever and recommended to give her calcium and glucose. Two vet doctors have different assumptions. One is low calcium the other is low on sugar. Kindly give us your thought. On what could be the real problem

Your dog needs testing done to get your better answers. That can be a sign a if pain or head or eye trauma or an infection. . A low blood sugar and calcium level can easily be diagnosed with a blood sample along with checking for an infection. once the lab work is complete you will know which way to treat. because she is so small I would get her rechecked to see why she is not getting better
