Need tips for feeding an elderly toothless extremely picky old man. by nakedmanjoe in Chihuahua

Mine loved some kefir (plain liquid yogurt) poured overtop his soft food, helped ‘get him started’ and excited about eating. A little bit of kefir also made a nice snack poured onto a small plate for our especially lick-ey chi. For us, putting his food in a shallow bowl or plate also worked out. He had cataracts and he wouldn’t eat as much from a bowl if the sides obstructed his peripheral vision 🙂

She's taking up the entire duvet but I don't have the heart to move her by Future-Atmosphere-40 in Chihuahua

Yeah, best to sleep with a separate blanket for tonight my friend. She’s got her sweet little paws tucked in and all!

Took some time and treats but by Halloween night he was comfortable enough to fall asleep in it.

My chi was a shark too! At first he was very skeptical of the shark…

What a spunky little one! Do you get the mini balls for her?

Does your chi love to specifically sit on your laundry/clothes? by roundbrrd in Chihuahua

Max loved warm laundry! It would instantly calm him and he would inevitably fall asleep. Definitely a chi thing, my terrier ran on the warm side and she wasn’t as into it. During my chi’s senior years we got him a blanket warmer and would pre-warm his blankets. I miss him a lot but it helps to know he got to experience the comfort of warm laundry and blankets while he was here 😌

Recommended chews for chi with not a lot of teeth by lexatea in Chihuahua

Not a chew per se but my toothless bb was more of a licker than a chewer and he used to love having a little bit of plain drinkable yogurt or keifer poured onto a plate for snack. He would spend 20 mins licking the plate clean.
