Believe me when I say I would never in my wildest dreams let her go up and down stairs (she can't anyway lol). She is so incredibly fragile BUT she is (thank god).
A tiny dog can be healthy but they are still prone to injury, more so than a larger dog would be. Honestly, now that I own a true TINY dog, I don't know if I would ever get another one. It's a huge responsibility and I love my girl but it's a never ending cycle of worrying for me. 
Also, I cannot have her spayed due to her size. It's just too risky to ever put her under for an operation ... so what happens in the future if she ever breaks a leg or gets hurt and needs surgery? How can they put her under to fix a broken leg? You can't imagine how things like this keep me up at night with worry. |
Chloe's exactly 1 lb bigger than your pup and I worry about her CONSTANTLY! I don't know what I'd do if she was a full pound less!? Sheesh! More power to ya!
