My 6-week-old Chihuahua puppy is wobbly when walking. Is this normal?

She could be hypoglycemic. Small breed dogs should eat more frequent, smaller meals throughout the day as to not let their blood sugar drop. I suggest you do this and if she is still not acting normally she should see a vet.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Puppies, just like kids, have different interests in food. Some will eat all the time, and others don't care as much. As long as he isn't too thin and is having normal poops, then just let him eat when he wants and don't worry too much about it. Puppies do sleep a lot so that is normal. In terms of him being wobbly, or off balance, this is definitely not normal. I would strongly recommend getting a video of the wobbliness and bring this to your vet to show them. It could be just puppy behaviour, however true 'ataxia' (wobbliness and off balance) is a concern, vs. just a clumsy puppy. This could indicate a congenital malformation in his brain, neck or spine, or possibly liver. Best of luck with Zeus!

What you're describing could be hip disease, spinal cord issues or even an infection. If it doesn't get better over the next few days he needs to get checked out by your veterinarian, sooner if if gets worse or he seems painful.

Sounds like Ori may have low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) but that is not common in this size or age of puppy. I suggest you give a bit of Karo syrup or honey by mouth (just a teaspoon or two). If no improvement within 15 minutes of giving him that then he needs to see a vet ASAP.

This is not normal. Please have Boots seen by a vet right away. She may be dealing with a neurological issue due to trauma, infection, or other causes. Puppies can also develop potentially fatal dehydration and low blood sugar fairly quickly, so it is important to have Boots seen by a vet. Good luck, and I hope she feels better soon!

Sometimes small breed puppies can have hypoglycemic episodes. Because of this its important to feed them multiple snacks throughout the day. I recommend taking Koko to see her veterinarian soon just to make sure that there is nothing that requires medical treatment.

I'm sorry to hear that your pup isn't doing well. I recommend taking him to an emergency clinic right away for evaluation. His blood sugar could be low, he could have a liver issue that is allowing toxins to build up in his system, he could have a congenital issue with his digestive tract, or something else entirely. His vet will likely do an exam, draw a bit of blood, and maybe take x-rays. I hope he's feeling better soon!
