Most of the chihuahua owners try to find this answer in a serious manner. Whatever the schedule we have for the examination of your pet animal, if there is any abnormality noticed in your animal, without delay, you need to subject the animal for a thorough clinical examination.  It can be suggested that even before the purchase of a puppy, just consult a pet animal care specialist and try to understand about the schedules to be maintained for the examination of the animal. This will help a lot in solving many health related problems in the concerned animal.

   Though once in two or three months is the general schedule for the examination of the chihuahua, as soon as the puppy is procured the chihuahua needs to be taken to the veterinarian for a thorough examination. Hence, the health care measures related program will be obtained in time.  Most of the time, the chihuahua is to be taken to the veterinarian at fifth or sixth week of age because in this period only, the vaccinations against diseases will be systematically carried out.  The period of vaccination in the first year will be continued up to the sixteenth week of age and the schedule needs to be maintained accordingly.

   However, if you have the pregnant chihuahua, the chihuahua need not be stressed by long distance based transportation for examination purposes. Hence, consult the veterinarian by phone and try to reduce the travel for the chihuahua. However, the veterinary advice needs to be obtained in terms of health maintenance.   If the chihuahua has met with an accident either during travel or during routine movements, the animal needs to be taken to the pet hospital immediately.

   Though no disease is evident, it does not mean that the chihuahua is healthy. There are occasions wherein the animal may look like a normal chihuahua but may have some diseases, which can be found out during the routine health check ups.  Hence, the owner has to decide on when to take the chihuahua to the hospital depending on necessity.
