hello i am a new owner of a chi female puppy and had 2 questions, hoping for help. The first question is, at what temperature do chihuahuas get cold/uncomfortable? I lived in west texas so it never gets like freezing, but like today it was cloudy, rainy and around 60 F. I feel like my puppy should be inside, but my husband says he really thinks she is happier outside. Like, she'd rather be outside. Her current living situation is mostly outside on nice days and inside while we are home, she's almost house broken. So, is it possible she may prefer to be outside even though it is chilly? Or do chi puppies always prefer to be inside where it's cozy over outside chilly weather?
Second question is kind of gross, but is it possible for female puppies to have yeast infections? Lately she has been licking herself in her private area. I can't really tell exactly what "private" spot, but I also feel like I smell something that's off. Usually only smell this "off" smell when she is doing that, licking herself in that region. Is this normal? or should I take her to the vet? Thank you for ANY help.

Hi dbass, sorry to hear of your chihuahua's condition, my advise would be to go to the vets, as it could be a number of different complaints.

Does not sound serious to me, but even an infection can be most unpleasant.  Hope everything turns out fine, please do keep us updated,

Regarding the temps for chi`s , in my opinion, as i reside in England, that is mainly cold, my Chihuahuas have always been inside dogs,  only going out for the toilet and walks.


Regards

Sarah
