Hi Cindy. I am new to this site and I thought since you have been a chihuahua owner for 10 years that you may be able to help me with a question I have. I just became the owner of a 14 week old Chihuahua that weighs approx. 3 lbs..and is VERY cute and sweet..he has became my baby. LoL. But I have noticed some dry skin and some white flakes in his hair. I think this is dandruff and really I don’t know what to do for him. I feed him only Science Diet (Dry Food) which doesnt have a lot of oil in it? Could that be a problem? I havent bathed him once since I have had him, all I’ve done is dampened a cloth and then dried him and brushed his hair afterwards. I brushed his hair thinking the flakes would get better but they showed up more. What could I do? Any help and or comments would be greatly appreciated.

I just got a chihuahua and I have no history on this dog. my concern is that she is a picky eater and am not sure what to feed her with. The past family was giving her table food because they could not afford dog food. I brought her Alpo dog food and she is not eating it. I gave her some homemade chicken and she just barely eats a little. She is sniffing around the house so I feel she is hungry. This moring I gave her some brown rice, she just ate a few grains. What do I do? Is it natural for this size dog to only eat a teaspoon full of food. Help. What is the best vitamin to purchase for her.
