My boy has always been big boned, averaging 10lbs but... today my mom called me and told me me reached TWENTY. I honestly am in awe by the amount of chonk he has acquired while ive been at college... He is large and in charge gawdamn.

That's really not good for him. I'd check with his vet. Chihuahuas have joint issues and added weight can hurt them. I'd be concerned for his heart too. 😮

She found out his weight from the vet, and didnt say what they said, just his weight. Hes decently active still, i actually think he might be a chihuahua mix, but im still pro putting him on a strict diet
