I bought a blue tea cup Chihuahua and when he was a puppy he was losing hair on his head and back. I took him to different vets and couldn't find why he was losing his hair but then 4 years later he passes away. It was so traumatizing because he was my lil man my best bud. I did so much for him to find out why his head began swelling up and he would cry all the time because he was in so much pain. My vet at 1st thought maybe it was a ear infection but after the medicine didn't help him he still cried and cried. It broke my heart because I didn't know what else I can do to help him but then that horrible day came and I found him on the couch stiff as a board. After further investigation we found he had hydosphilis which is a disease that is passed on from the mother or father. Its fluid that begins to fill up around the brain causing pressure and horrible pain for the pup. If a dog has this disease you are not suppose to breed them it is against the law to due so. I wish things could have been different because I was so close to my lil guy and miss him so much every day. I just cant believe they would breed dogs with this disease. It's not right and inhumane.
