My chihuahua is shaking and not acting normal after eating chicken wings.

Question

ever since last night, my chihuahua hasn’t been acting hyper and he didn’t want to jump to sleep on the bed like he usually does but slept on the floor instead. He’s not even barking either. It might be because he ate chicken wings last night but i’m not sure. When i held him earlier, he was shaking a lot and his ears were down. Please let me know if anything is wrong with him.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Frankie! He is so cute! Frankie does look like he isn't feeling well in your pictures. The symptoms he is exhibiting are non-specific. Shaking can be a sign of nausea, pain, fever or fear. Not jumping up could be pain (belly, back or neck) or just not feeling well. Again the not barking is likely because he isn't feeling well. Chicken wings (especially if they had a sauce on them) can cause gastro-intestinal upset and sometimes pancreatitis. If the wings were cooked and he chewed them they likely won't cause an obstruction but he is small. I have seen dogs who have eaten a lot of bones become constipated. If Frankie is not eating, vomiting, having diarrhea or this behavior continues I recommend having your Vet examine him. They may want to do blood work to rule out pancreatitis and X-rays to look of an obstruction or constipation. They can examined him for pain and check his temperature. I hope this helps and I wish Frankie a speedy recovery!
