Help!

[oni]

I have a year old male chihuahua. he's been sniped and is up to date on all his shots. recently he's been attacking my 2 year old niece. i have a 7 year old niece that'll play rough with him and he's fine. however when my other niece comes around to try and pet him or sit with me he'll attack her. he did it sunday night and then again monday, both times she was just walking by him, not talking or trying to touch him.
he also will just sit there and then start spazing out..biting at the air and shaking his head vigorously. then run around and stop and do it all over again.
i'm not sure what to do and i'm afraid that the only thing i can do is give him away. please help

it sounds like hes in some kind of pain that comes and goes you should take him to the vet right away

I think you should take him to your vet to make sure that everything is ok with him. The younger niece may have accidentally hurt him and he remembers that or something. I hope you can figure it out and that it works out without you having to get rid of him!

he should definalty be taken to see your vet. it could be neurological thing, or he could have something against small children, like a behavioral issue...good luck with him, whatever it ends up being
