Ma ʻEulopa, ʻike wale ʻia ka Chihuahua mai ka hopena o ke kenekulia 1923. Akā ua hoʻohanohano ʻia no nā makahiki he haneli ma Mekiko, kona ʻāina hānau, a ʻoi aku ka pololei ma ka mokuʻāina i hāʻawi i kona inoa i ka holoholona. E mālama ʻia e ka lāhui Toltec a ma hope, mai ke kenekulia 1953, ua hoʻokiʻekiʻe ka Aztec iā ia i ke kūlana o ke akua quasi. Hoʻopau ʻia i kekahi nalowale ʻana me ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o Mekiko e nā Spanish Conquistadors i ka XNUMXth kenekulia, aia ma United States - kahi i lilo ai i mea makemake nui ʻia - ua hoʻomau ka lāhui. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka Hui Chihuahua ʻAmelika ma XNUMX a hiki wale i ka XNUMX i hoʻokumu ʻia ai ka Club du Chihuahua du Coton de Tuléar et des Exotique (CCCE) ma Palani.

ʻ saidlelo pinepine ʻia no ka Chihuahua he ʻano nui i paʻa i loko o kahi kino liʻiliʻi. Hōʻike mau kona mau haku iā ia ma ke ʻano he ʻeleu, ola a wiwo ʻole hoʻi. Aloha ʻo ia me ka poʻe kokoke iā ia, akā me nā malihini he moʻolelo ʻokoʻa ia. ʻO kāna launa ʻana i ke kakahiaka nui ke kī no kona hilinaʻi e lilo i mea mua ma mua o kāna makaʻala i nā malihini. ʻAʻole ia e hoʻokaʻulua e hōʻailona ʻōnaehana i kekahi alo ʻike ʻole ʻia e ka hae ʻana a ʻike pehea e lilo ai i mea mana. No laila ka pono e hoʻomaopopo iā ia i kona wahi a me kona kūlana ma waena o ka ʻohana mai ka wā ʻōpio.

Manaʻo ʻia ka lāhui i ke olakino, ʻoiai ʻo ka Chihuahua kahi predisposition i kekahi mau maʻi, i waena o ia mau mea:

ʻO ka maʻi mitral valve degenerative: ʻo ia ka maʻi puʻuwai maʻamau i nā ʻīlio, no 75% o nā ʻano puʻuwai āpau. (1) Pili nui ia i nā ʻīlio liʻiliʻi e like me ka Dachshund, ka Poodle, ka Yorkshire a no laila ʻo Chihuahua. ʻO kēia maʻi, hoʻomohala insidious me ka ʻelemakule, ʻike pinepine ʻia e ka manawa wale. ʻIke ʻia e ka auscultation o ka puʻuwai me kahi stethoscope a hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia ka diagnostical e kahi x-ray a me kahi ultrasound. I kēia lā, ʻaʻohe mālama curative, akā hiki i nā lāʻau ke hōʻohi i kāna holomua.

Hōʻalo kūlohelohe o ka patella: ʻo kēia kūlana orthopedic ka mea maʻamau a hoʻopili pinepine i nā ʻīlio lūlū liʻiliʻi. E hāʻule iki paha ka wahine ma mua o nā kāne. ʻAʻole hele pū ʻia kahi dislocation me nā hōʻailona maʻi e like me ka paleness akā, i ka mea ʻē aʻe, hiki iā ia ke kumu i ka haki o nā ligament cruciate.

Alopecia / ʻōhule: ʻo ka Chihuahua kekahi o nā ʻano ʻīlio i predisposed i ka lilo ʻana o ka lauoho. Hiki ke hapa a piha paha kēia a pili i nā luakini a puni nā pepeiao, ʻāʻī, ʻōpū, kua a me nā ʻūhā. ʻO ka hoʻonui ʻana o nā waikawa momona i ka papaʻai e lohi paha i ke kaʻina hana i kekahi manawa. E hoʻomaopopo naʻe, hōʻike wale ka alopecia i kahi pilikia nani a ʻaʻole pili i ke olakino o ka holoholona i kekahi ʻano.

Hiki i nā maʻi ʻē aʻe ke hoʻololi i ka Chihuahua: hydrocephalus, maʻi maʻi niho, hoʻohuli i ka hū (ʻoluʻolu), a pēlā aku.

Ma muli o kona liʻiliʻi, he holoholona nāwaliwali ka Chihuahua. Hiki i kahi iwi haʻihaʻi a kolohe paha ke hana ma hope o ka hāʻule maʻalahi a i ʻole ka hāʻule ʻana o kahi mea ma luna ona. Hiki i ka nahu ʻīlio ke haki i kona ʻāʻī i kekona. Ke hele i waho, pono ʻo ia e mālama mau i ka leash a hāpai ʻia i kona mau lima ke hālāwai ʻo ia me kahi ʻīlio ʻē aʻe (ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua ona). E nānā pono ka mea ponoʻī i kāna papaʻai, ke kūpono, e hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi ʻia me ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo a ka veterinarian. Pēlā nō, pono hiki iā ia ke komo i ka wai i kēlā me kēia manawa o ka lā.
