u have a chihuahua/terrier mix and every night when im at my computer she jumps on my lap and starts panting and shaking like crazy and then after i get up and go to bed she still sits on my bed and pants and shakes this happens every single night.. what do i do? whats wrong with her?

xxxRadioGagaxxx answered Tuesday June 10 2008, 10:06 am: I have a chihuahua! (not mixed..) but okay. Is it a puppy or really young? Generally, these dogs are smaller than any other dog, so it takes them a while to adjust to the room temperature. This lasts until the dog's about 2ish? It's normal. I know this because my dog did the same. It's probably either cold or scared. Remember its size and compare it to the others.
Another factor in this...is that the dog's nerves are kicking in. This could either be because she's not with you or she's scared! All chihuahuas are mostly this way (i found out). nothing's wrong with her. And what you could do is try warming her with a blanket and give her as much affection as possible.
Good luck! If you need any more help, feel free to ask :) [ xxxRadioGagaxxx's advice column | Ask xxxRadioGagaxxx A Question ]
