My 3yr/old male chihuahua teacup occasionally walks on his front two legs, why does he do that?

I noticed he does it A LOT. I just spent the last couple hours watching him and letting him roam around the house and he walks on his front legs more then all 4, and if he runs he runs on 3 legs. I am taking him to the vet tomorrow, just to double check everything.

Um, this is going to sound rude, but he does it because he likes to! I have seen a lot of small dogs, chis in particular, that do this.

Have your veterinarian check him for luxating patellas (kneecaps that pop out of place)-- chi's commonly have this problem and they will walk with their rear leg raised when it is out and hurts --- if both are out they can walk as you describe .

I have a friend with a little dog who pees on things while handstand walking.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
