Many of these occur when they are just born. If they are diagnosed early enough, it may be treated. If not, it may take some time. Injuries like breaking bones can happen at almost any time a chihuahuas day. It could be from falling, from jumping, etc. While families are walking around the house, dogs can also easily be stepped on . They are very small and very fragile. some of the smallest things like fleas or ticks, can lead to getting infections and diseases. Fleas can itch a dog so much to where its gushing blood from itching and can cause many open sores on their skins.
