Hi everyone,

We are new here, and I have ques. I am getting a new baby (yorkie type ) next week, and my question is, does tube feeding affect size and skeletal structure? This new baby started out really small, 1 oz. and they tube fed the babies until about 6 wks. my concern is because everytime I saw them, they looked like baked potatoes they were so fat and full all the time. Is that bad to have them get SO full everytime? I just know how miserable I feel when I over eat, and will that affect her muskoskeletal skeletal system to be filled that full all the time? I was also wondering if these little ones slow down their growth sooner than other breeds? My little MiMi is 4 mo. old and has been 1# 12 oz. for about a month now. She is very healthy but really little.

Thanks for all of your help and expert advice, I REALLY appreciate it.
