There was a very tiny yorkie(Pinochio) that only lived to be 2 and was healthy up until then, just very small. Sometimes the smaller ones just don't make it very long. I hope your friend knows that there was nothing she could have done to prevent it, it just happens.
Also I hope she knows, you can't just catch rabies. They have to be bitten by an animal that has it. It's highly unlikely he was. I've alway said that if my little dogs got rabies it's being bitten that would kill them because they're small, not the actual rabies. |
Are you talking about Pinochio the one that was barely a lb? London isn't that small lol She was very tiny when she came, only about a lb at 10 weeks but she def. grew and is about 2.6 lbs now, maybe even more i hope. Major seemed like he wasn't growing at all.
When he came he was tiny as well but even a few days ago at 7 mos he still felt like he weighed the same as when he came, maybe a few ounces more and i don't think that's normal. He barely grew. So yes maybe it could have been with his organs or something. Maybe they didn't develop fully. I also thought maybe it was liver shunt..but with liver shunt do they pass so early? In most cases i hear about it the owner finds out a while after they've had it...idk i just don't know how he could have passed so quickly, all in one day.
