That time Bambi went to a chihuahua party / meet up

Bambi is going to the next Chihuahua meet up so I thought I’d share this from the last one we went to. It kinda breaks my heart a little bit though because she wanted so badly to play with those two little chis and they ignored her 😭😭!!

Also yes that dog did take a 💩 😂😂 Bambi got a whiff of it and look mortified and ran away. 😂

I’ve been seeing many reels etc of vets saying they’re more terrified of a chihuahua patient than most other breeds 😂 and I wondered if that actually rings true in reality??

I have Bambi, she freezes when handled by the vet. Her pupil gets so big and covers the whole of her iris and when I first seen that I said “omg her eyes look black, she looks so different” and the vet said, casually, “yeah, she’s just gone into shock”. 🥴 I felt horrible. Mind you, she was just getting her nails clipped.

Does anyone else have a frozen shocked chihuahua at the vets or do you have the type that the vets fear 😂😂?

She’s raging mad about the bald spot 😒😂

She got blood tests done for suspected pancreatitis due to her showing abdominal pain signs after vomiting and diarrhoea..

The tests came back clear, everything’s fine.

The vet asked me if I wanna do a more specific pancreatitis blood test out of house but that would mean that’s £860 in blood tests and my insurance only covers half. I obviously would be willing to pay it if I had to but don’t feel it’s necessary as her pancreatic levels are fine and other than the couple of hours that morning last week, she’s been fit and healthy and had a good appetite, routine toilet etc.

But I’m wondering if anyone had had blood tests come back normal but the specialised one show early pancreatitis?! If it’s worth getting them done? Especially if I see her in pain again.

The vomiting and diarrhoea is easier to deal with, mentally, because she will sleep through it but when she’s in pain or discomfort & is restless I cannot handle it. At all!!!!!

Just to be safe I have cut out all fatty n salty treats. No cheese for Bambi 😔.
