Ok your pup is haveing a severe sugar drop he needs to get to the vet. In the mean time give him karo sypup if you have, if not tehn honey and if not that sugar water.
this can be very serious and your dog can die form this. DO NOT WAIT GET HIM TO THE VETS NOW
Please if you have any other problems ask me i have been breeding chihuahuas for 20 years.

also ask the vet about nutrical a vitamin that you should keep on hand with chi’s with this problem also ask him about putting karo syrup in the water to prevent the sugar drops.

I don’t know if it’s the toy, but call your vet immediately. It sounds like he had a stroke or seizure of some sort.

Not at all harmful. Just make sure he doesn’t break the toy. Cat toys are usually not strong enough for dogs, even Chihuhhuas.
Call your vet either way ASAP.

it sounds like your pup had a small seizure, Catnip is potentially deadly to dogs, usually only in plant form. Make sure you take it all away and watch him for signs of another one, if you can’t afford an emergency vet fee, MAKE SURE YOU WATCH HIM. a seizure can hurt the exterior of a dog more than the interior.
Good luck
P.S do get him to the vet as soon as you can, though, to make sure he doesn’t need to be on control meds. (such as phenobarbitol) it could be a sign of a more serious problem affecting chihuahuas, such as hypoglycemia.

No, there is nothing wrong with that, the dog just likes the smell.

As long as it’s just catnip, it won’t hurt him unless he has an allergy.
It sounds like he had a seizure.
Are you sure it’s just catnip?
Some companies will add aromatic oils to the catnip.
Cat toys can be great for very small puppies who can’t get their mouths around regular puppy toys.
If he is allergic, try the tiny kitty tennis balls or other toys.
Good luck and I hope the little fella is okay.
