Swollen vulva of teacup chihuahua
Our 5 year old teacup Chihuhua is in the 3rd week of her heat cycle, and she has withdrawn into herself and looks depressed.
Her vulva is swollen but does not look inflamed, although she is having difficulty in walking.
She has been this way for the past 3 days but perks up in the evening when she will eat a little.
Please advise

Obviously she is not feeling well. If not drinking and only eating a little and having difficulty walking, she may have a bladder infection or some blockage. You need to take her to a doctor as soon as possible. Sometimes walking problems could have something to do with the hips having issues which some dogs are prone to having issues with but I haven't heard of Chihuahua's having those issues, so maybe she fell or somehow knocked some bones out of alignment and need being put back where they go. That would cause pain too. Either way, this isnt something to mess with and not respond to. She needs a vet to determine what is really wrong and help her. If money is an issue right now, call some vets and ask them if they know of a vet that offers services on a sliding scale comparable to your income, a low cost vet. After calling a few, you'll likely get a referal or you can look on line for a low cost vet in your area.
