2 week old Chihuahua x Shih-Tzu shaking in her sleep? General Dog Discussions
I recently rescued an orphaned two-week-old chihuahua x shih-tzu. She seems normal, she will crawl around when you are holding her but when she falls asleep she shakes. Her limbs and her head shake, almost like she is "dreaming" like an older dog. I don't know if the litter nursed from the mother for the first two days to get the colostrum. I am planning to take her to the vet ASAP. She also likes to sleep on her back.The only time she is really vocal is when I have to stimulate her to urinate/defecate. Other than that, she is very quiet. She sleeps most of the day.At what age should she start walking?We are feeding her Just Born milk replacement, she has normal looking stools and urine. We feed her about every three hours or when she wakes up and starts suckling on things.Any advice on raising an orphaned puppy or any knowledge of normal behavior of puppies her age would be very appreciated, I've never done this before
