I have a chihuahua named Ruby Tuesday, and we got her at five weeks. I didn't know any better, and she is a fabulous family companion, but horribly socialized with other dogs. She just doesn't know how to play. We love her to pieces, but at five weeks and 18 ounces we had feeding and hypoglycemia issues too. I'm glad you have the people here at YT to help you, I had a chihuahua board that helped me four years ago with Ruby.
