Do Chihuahuas gain weight after being spayed?

Spaying and neutering changes their metabolism even if your Vet tries to tell you it doesn't. The weight gain may very well not be from over eating. Just keep her active, and she should be fine.

How do you train a Chihuahua not to bark?

Practice the speak command, then teach your Chihuahua to be quiet on command. Tell your Chihuahua to speak, but when he starts barking say "quiet" and stick a treat under his nose. Praise him for being quiet and give him the treat. Stay calm and do not yell at your dog.

Will neutering my Chihuahua calm him down?

Neutering only affects behaviors that are associated with male hormones. This means that castrating your dog doesn't calm them if they are naturally excitable. Nor will your dog become fat and lazy as long as they are properly fed and given an adequate amount of exercise.

Is it too late to spay my dog?

as long as your dog isn't elderly [8-10 years or older], it's absolutely not too late to spay. It is almost never too late to spay/neuter an animal. The senior dogs run more risks for complications which is why some people say there is an age limit on it. But not spaying at any age comes with it's own risks too.

How long will my dog be in pain after neutering?

Yes. Your dog won't feel any pain during the surgery. Typically, dogs are given an injection which will provide pain management for eight to twelve hours after the surgery. And you may also be given medication that you can give at home.

Why are Chihuahuas so needy?

Chihuahuas are notoriously needy dogs, constantly craving attention and affection. They enjoy being petted and — due in part to their hyperactive personality — like to exercise. In addition to being protective of their families and having a territorial streak, Chihuahuas can be easily provoked to attack.

Do male Chihuahuas spray?

Marking - Marking (spraying just a bit of urine) to claim areas of the house is rather common for un-fixed male Chihuahuas. A male Chihuahua enters puberty between the ages of 4 and 7 months. Therefore, this sort of behavior often begins shortly after this age.

Should you neuter an older dog?

In the hands of a competent veterinarian, however, most senior dogs (generally, dogs are considered senior at approximately seven years of age) can be safely spayed or neutered. Age alone, without an overall assessment of the senior dog's health, should not be used to rule out the surgery.
