I don't know what kind of milk to give my chihuahua now that she is feeding three puppies because she doesn't have that much milk. Someone told me that baby formula but I don't know, what do you think ?
The puppies are one week old and the mom doesn't produce that much milk also she doesn't want to eat that much.

the mom really dont want to be bothered with them one puppies has already left the mom and is fine is it ok to let them go.

I have bought her a couple of things and it is all to big. I bought the smallest the store had and it is still to big. My sister was telling me that she had seen online where a lady made a sweater out of these pretty socks but she cant remember the website and Im not sure how to do it. We are taking a trip to the mountains in a few weeks and I know she will freeze if she don't have on a sweater or I will have to keep her wrapped in her blanket. If anyone knows the website or can tell me how to make her some cheap sweaters and t-shirts, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Oh and by the way, my puppy is old enough for me to have. Her mother was weaning her and her brothers and they were eating and drinking on their own. I have had her for a week now and she is doing just fine. Thank You!!!!!!!
Thanks to the ones who actually answered my question (Chyler's mom & Cameo's mom) I appreciate your post!!

they are yorkie/chihuahua puppys and the dad is 5 lbs the mom is 7 lbs.
how rude please get some help you need as much as you can get you meanies.

My mom thinks of rats as the giant, red eyed, sewer monsters that they are portrayed as on TV. My brother and his girlfriend have a pet rat, that she has never seen, and I fell in love with him. I had to give my dog to my grandma when my mom remarried because her new husband didn't like her, he thought she was too spoiled and that dogs aren't supposed to be in the house, even if they are tiny pom/chihuahua mixes and would have to battle mutant sized raccoons. I want a pet, something I can hang out with, take care of, and love. I've gotten kind of lonely since my brother moved out, I only have a temperamental 8 year old sister that wants nothing to do with me. I have done a lot of research on pet rats and how to take care of them, prices on supplies, about 140$, and found a rat rescue in my town that offers 10$ adoptions. I'm a 15 year old girl, old enough, and responsible enough to take care of a pet. I always took good care of my dog, cleaning up after her, grooming her, and feeding her. My mom wouldn’t even have to see the rat, expect for the occasional visit to the vet. I have 70$, enough to pay for half of the supplies. What are some ways I can try to convince her I am responsible enough, and that rats aren’t the nasty little creatures that they are represented as?
I've been mentioning to my mom that I love my brother's pet rat and would love to have one, but I haven't actually asked about it.
And any info you could supply will be very helpful.
I understand, I don't think you're being mean at all. I was planning on getting two.

Would two males be ok in a cage together? Or should I get two females.
So I barely bring up the topic and my mom yells at me. She wouldn't even listen to me and laughed when I brought up the subject of having to get rid of my dog. She doesn't seem to comprehend how much it breaks my heart to only get to see my dog once or twice a month at most, and then to have her look at me with her big eyes and have to leave her again. I just want something to love, I'd be happy with just about anything, but rats seem best for my lifestyle.

"We have a pregnant chihuahua dog, my question is what would the puppies look like mom or dad?"
Not a breeder dogs already have a very good home no matter what sex they are or how many....

I just rescued another dog a few days ago, she is an aussie mix, 2 years old.

Her previous owner couldn't keep her where she lived and had to give her up, and couldn't find a home for her, and didn't want to take her to the pound, so I took her in, I had them meet me at my boyfriend's house since it was a closer drive for the people to bring her.

And I like this dog a lot, I've only had her for 4 days now, but the only thing is she is extremely aggressive towards other animals.

I was told she was good with other non-aggressive dogs, and was total sweetheart.

Well first day we got her she attacked my boyfriend's dog, I know I wasn't to supposed to jump in but I did, Sadie kept chasing Charlie around the house, at first it seemed like they were just playing around, and things seemed fine until Sadie jumped on Charlie and started attacking him, they were both fighting pretty bad, I immediately grabbed Sadie's collar and pulled her off, but then my boyfriends dog didn't have a collar on so no one could grab him and he came back around and jumped back at her causing her collar to leave my hands, then she went after him again and was on top of him, my boyfriend's mom was screaming "Stop it!" and that's when I jumped in and I wrestled her off of him, but then Charlie came back around again and jumped at her, and she leaped up and jumped back at him and accidentally bit and punctured my right arm about 8 times, I got up and grabbed her trying to pull her off because she was just going at him, and there were no objects that we could distract them with, this happened in my boyfriend's house, in his small living room, Sadie had a strong grip on Charlie's neck, finally I managed to get her off of him, and I flew back with her into the fireplace, I broke her fall but hurt my back and leg, then Finally my boyfriend's mom grabbed her dog and took him in the room, and I had to drag Sadie outside, my arm was bleeding and swelling, but I had to take Sadie away from the house, I walked bare footed to a nearby park with her and sat with her until everything calmed down, Charlie ended up being okay, there was no blood, just a lot of slobber, I was scared that he was badly hurt, I had no idea she was going to act like that, my arm was hurting pretty bad, it went numb for awhile and kept swelling until my boyfriend brought me some ice, and then it started going down.

It was a huge commotion that night, and I don't ever want that to happen again, but unfortunately it almost did, I had spent the night at my boyfriend's house with Sadie in the room with me and away from the other animals.

My boyfriend's mother drove me home in the morning, and at first sight when Sadie saw my husky Shaddie, she wanted to attack her, luckily I had Sadie on a leash this time, I had to yell for my dad to grab my husky and take her in the back, because my husky was curious and wanted to meet Sadie, she kept coming foward and closer to her, I kept saying "Get back!" and she kept coming, while Sadie was going crazy on the leash trying to go after her, I immediately took Sadie into the house, and now have to keep her confined to my room all day because she absolutley cannot be around my other pets, she has tried attacking my husky and my rescued chihuahua, and my cat.

The person said she was good with cats, my dogs are non-aggressive, and that's what she said Sadie got along with.

I don't want to return her, as even though she is this way I really like her as she is good with people, she loves everyone she meets, but its just other animals that she has a huge problem with. None of my other dogs are this way.

I'm wondering if behavioral training would help her at all?
I want to be able to let her run around our yard, and get along with my other dogs, when I told the person that Sadie would have a playmate she said "Oh Sadie will love it, she needs a good playing buddy"
but obviously not Sadie can't stand other dogs.

What can I do to help this dog? I don't want to give her up already I want to try and make it work.

And watching the dog whisperer doesn't help, I learn a lot but what he does doesn't seem to work for me, I probably actually NEED him there to help out with her, other than that.. even though I have his books... it doesn't help me.
Oh and Sadie is up to date on all of her shots and is spayed/fixed.

I am probably going to get a puppy from a local shelter. My mom's requirement is mostly it needs to be under 10 pounds and absolutely needs to be adopted. I am trying to figure out a good small dog breed. I do have a cat but she's completely unaffected by anything so that shouldn't be a problem, I was leaning towards a yorkie but they are so few and far between and expensive to adopt (mostly I have found yorkies for 0-0 dollars). I am not completely sure of all of the small dog breeds. I can just find chihuahuas mostly.

So:

1. Small dog breeds?
2. Breed recommendations?
3. Am I being unrealistic thinking five hundred is too much?
4. Any small dog rescues? (I live in missouri FYI)

Thanks!

Ok FIRST things FIRST... I am NOT a BREEDER and this was not planned by me I rescued La-La from some neglecting people that were getting evicted, they left her outside for 3days no food no water nothing OH and 17 degrees out side!!! My husband went to do the eviction and found out what was going on with her and by law we had to leave her their for 24hrs for her crappy owners to have one more chance to get her(we left food and water) well of coarse no shows so we took her in not knowing she was with puppies. 2 days later the owners came looking for her and they were oh so worried (yeah right) cause she was pregnant and they did want to "wast the puppies" anyways found out she was preg. which made her conditions with them even worse!! Any way they had already rightfully lost her by law but that's another story! We took her to the vet and she was preggers...Fast forward 4 weeks... Tonight at 6:24 she had her first pup and at 7:29 she had her last =] all seem healthy they will be going to the vet in a couple days but in the mean time is there anything I CAN or NEED to be doing? I have been on the net for the past 3 weeks researching, I just want to make sure I am not missing anything I starting giving mom egg And yogurt in her food heard it was good for her? She liked it! Thanks for any suggestions
