Why is my Chihuahua acting like this?

So we got two new long haired chihuahuas yesterday at around 2:00 pm. Mine is named Nixxie and she has a black coat with white on her feet and chest. My sister’s is named Snowflake and she’s almost pure white. I feel like Snowflake is adapting great to her new home, but not Nixxie. She’s sleeping constantly and she barely eats. She shivers when she’s sitting down and she’ll rarely come to me. Is she just scared? Is she sick? She has a liiiittle bit of gunk coming out of her eyes and I wipe them off. She doesn’t seem to be getting a fever because I checked her ears and they seem fine. Please please help?

Answer #1

She is adapting to her new home. My kitten and old chihuahua did the same thing infact my chihuahua cried until tears showed. Give Nixxie a little more time and she’ll come around :) Also chihuahuas have that gunk in their eyes…most of them. Sometimes it’s a sign on infection. Give Nixxie time but keep an eye on her eyes. She’ll be just fine I’m sure!

Answer #2

When i first got my kitten it did the same thing it would sleep alot and barely ate anything now its been almost 2 weeks and she wont leave me alone and cries when i leave the room its just getting use to its new home but if you are worried you can probley take it to the vet just to be sure.
