Mini Chihuahuas have a significantly reduced life expectancy compared to normal-weight Chihuahuas. The often very delicate and sickly animals often do not reach the 10th year of life.
They need a lot of extra attention in everyday life and even jumping or playing with other dogs can be fatal to them. Even diarrhea or vomiting can quickly become fatal if help is not provided quickly. In addition, the minis tend to have hydrocephalus, headaches, or incompletely closed fontanelle. In addition, there are eye and tooth problems as well as weak joints and bones. Low blood sugar also represents an increased risk for the Mini Chihuahuas.
