A chihuahua puppy can leave there mother at 5 weeks old as long as there healthy and eating well. I have had 6 Chihuahuas and I have took them all at 5 weeks old. My chihuahua had a litter of puppies and they started eating soft dog food at 4 weeks old. Everyone says a puppy shouldn't be taken from its mother until 6 to 8 weeks. That is not true at all. Every dog I have ever had has been taken at 5 weeks and they are very healthy. Some people also say if you take a puppy that early it causes problems with them biting and playing. That is also not true. So as long as a puppy is eating good it CAN be taken from its mother at 5 weeks of age...

Why is your peek a poo mother biting her 1 day old pup?

Answer 1: Are you sure it's biting? Maybe she is carrying the pup in her mouth (which isn't a bad thing), or grooming the pup(which you shouldn't mind), or taking care of bugs or other skin things on the pup (which then you should take the pup to a vet). You should check and see if she really is biting the pup. Answer 2: If the mom is biting the pup, 1st check with the vet to see if the are bugs or skin problems with the pup. The mom could very well be trying to cure the pup. Answer 3: Check the vet to see if the mom has any mental problems. Is the mom acting out of the ordinary?You should see. These are not all the answers, but these are all I can give you. Wish you luck!

What do you do when a Jack Russell Terrier just had a pup?

When you know a dog gave birth and if you are absolutely positive it is the first pup, then bring mom and pup to a box lined with a layer of newspapers and old but clean rags. Other than this one time, don't touch the pup again. Put mom and pup in the box in a quiet corner.Watch mom and make sure she has another pup within 30-60 minutes. IF not, or if mom seems in distress, take her AND the first pup to the vet (pup will need mom so do not separate them).Labor should progress every 30-60 minutes or so. Mom will lick her privates and you may see the area begin to bulge. Talk quietly to her, but let her do her job. She should push out one after another (with time in between).NOTE: If you don't know if it is the 1st born and your dog is outside with the puppy, you may need to wait to bring her in until she leads you to the rest (if she had any others).
