If you have a dog that only weighs 2 pounds, you have no weight to work with. I have had several very small dogs over the years and I can tell you first hand, every thing matters with them, tempertare changes can stress them and they crash fast when they crash.
I am on edge anytime I have a small one.
Dosing medicine for a very small dog is no fun and I have even heard vets saying, well you realize the medicine could kill one this size.
I placed one at 6 months, I hadn't even thought of selling her, then someone saw her, and they asked me if she was for sale, I said no. They said WHY?
I said plain as day because I don't know from one day to the next if she will be alive or not.

I have to say I agree with you on this so much. I have a very small one right now that was born from standard size parents. I have yet to sleep in my bed and have stayed with her since they day she was born. I still don't feel comfortable leaving her alone thru the night. I have no plans currently about placing her or not since it will be quite awhile before I feel more comfortable to even consider placing her if I ever do. These little ones are so hard to stop worrying about.
