Medical Information [Adopt a Greyhound]: "TICK REMOVAL:
(Lynda Adame)
Smother the tick in Vaseline, and as it suffocates it will pull out of the dogs skin.
Heat a paperclip or tweezers and hold the heated end against the ticks body, which will cause the tick to pull out.
Most people prefer these methods to squeezing and pulling the tick off of the dog, as the squeezing of the tick can cause it to leak more of the lyme bacteria or any other bacteria into the dog. After the tick has pulled out of the dogs skin, flush the area with water, then sterilize the area with alcohol or Betadine, and apply a topical antibacterial like Bacitracin/Polysporin. At the first sign of infection (reddening or oozing ) contact your Vet."

Steps:
1. Have your Chihuahua vaccinated, and follow with yearly booster vaccinations to maintain the dog's immunity to disease. Consult your veterinarian about flea control products and worming your dog.

2. Feed your Chihuahua dog food in which the first ingredient is meat. Crude protein should be no less than 30 percent, and crude fat no less than 20 percent. Fiber content should be 4 percent or less.

3. Feed your Chihuahua three small meals a day. They prefer this to one large meal.

4. Brush a short-coated Chihuahua occasionally with a soft-bristle brush, or wipe her down with a soft cloth. Brush long-coated dogs daily.

5. Bathe your Chihuahua monthly, being careful not to get water in her ears, as this leads to infections. Longhaired Chihuahuas will need more bathing than shorthaired dogs.

6. Exercise your Chihuahua daily if possible. However, this breed tends to have quick bursts of energy and may not need to go on extensive walks. An apartment to romp around in is usually enough exercise for a Chihuahua.
