The following day, she was a new dog, eating everything. I realized that she could survive for a day without food because she had that much extra. I talked to the vet just to make sure that I am doing everything right and not underfeeding her. The vet said that I am right in every sense. He asked me to look at my dog, who is tiny being under 3 lbs in weight. He said that it really does not take much for such a tiny creature to get full.

Thank you! My Dolce's under 3lbs (2.5 to be exact) and I've been so worried that if she doesn't eat or misses 1 feeding it's the end of the world, she'll go into shock and die. That's the words the breeder told me when we first got her. Scared me sensless. And knowing that you have a tiny one too helps. I'll be tougher and let you guys know!

ps. How much does your little one eat a day? 1/4 cup-1/3 cup?
