Welcome to CP,it's all very strange for her so take it easy with her and let her come out on her own,maybe tempt her with a treat ? give her a cuddly toy to snuggle up too.

Mine didn't eat or drink water for the fist day and ahlaf. I had to force feed and water him and give him Nutri Cal. Though, as soon as I got a treat out for him, he was all trotting around.

Hello and welcome! I'm also new here and live in Suffolk! Whereabouts in Norfolk do you live?

Hope the dental checkup goes well tomorrow. My 6 year old boy had to have 6 teeth extracted last year as they were loose. Apparently this is fairly normal for chihuahuas, they can be prone to dental problems. My boy had bad teeth as a result of a poor diet in his previous homes (he was sadly moved around a lot and mistreated ) When I adopted him he was on Bakers, and had the worst breath in history. I put him on Royal Canin Sensible but he didn't like it so now he's on James Wellbeloved and he scoffs it down a treat.

Enjoy being a chihuahua mommy - it's wonderful.

Pics of Honey please

hi i live not far from diss went to the vets honey has to go in to morrow and have her tooth taken out they gave her a good check up today every thing is ok they also gave her a pain killer injection as she is in a little discomfort i have contacted the previous ower as they said she was in very good health but i dont think her teeth have been looked after but i dont think i will get any joy from them going by the condition the house was in any way honey will get her tooth done tomorrow and iam sure she will feel more comfortable honey is all so on royal cain she seems ok with it just finding it a little hard at the moment to eat .........i will put some pics on when she feeling better

 

[AC/DC Fan]

Maybe you can give her a little high quality canned food until she gets that tooth pulled and she recovers.
Oh, and welcome!

 

[deb5and]

hi thank you for that i added some water to her feed and made it nice and soft for her she is going in first thing in the morning i am just a little un happy with the previous owner as she was sold to me all in good health i have tryed to contact the previous owner but not had any reply from her

 

[bambozzle]

Sounds dodgy to me - like my boys 2nd owner, when she found out I had him and had neutered him she started having a go at his 3rd owner (!!!- the one I got Buddy from, a nice family) for letting me have him and not giving him back to her - she had used him as stud and neglected him so bad. I quickly microchipped Buddy to prove he was mine. Would never in a million years time let him go back to that place!

 

[deb5and]

bambozzle so were in suffolk are you from? thank you for the reply honey is back now from the vets they took 6 baby teeth out as they were loose and over crounding her mouth they also took out the bad one as well and gave her a good check all is ok now she has a clean bill of health got honey home she cuddled right into my neck and stayed there for a couple of hours having a nice sleep so sweet bless her still not herd any thing from the other owner but iam just goig to forget about her my concerns is my little honey oh yes honeys new princess house came today she is not sure about it lol but iam sure she will love it x
