I have a little one, Lily. She is between 1.5 - 2.0 lbs and is 1 yr old today. She has a large open font, hydrocephalus, MVD, partial blindness, heart murmur, and mental retardation and that is just the tip of the iceburg. She cries all the time. It would break your heart to hear her.

Not only do I have her health issues to worry about, but her sheer size is a huge worry for me. Ever stumbled walking across a room or lean up in bed on an elbow? Imagine if Lily were underneath that elbow or that foot. Ever opened up the freezer or fridge and have something fall out? If it fell on top of her, it would kill her or break several bones at least.

She is a rescue and was bred by a breeder who specialized in so called "teacups". Their goal was to breed a yorkie as small as possible. Well guess what? They succeeded and Lily is the result. That is her in my avatar. Is she adorable? Yes, but look at the price she is paying. That's pretty much all I have to say on the issue.
Your baby is adorable. I am so sorry that she is so sick. She is so lucky to have you for a mommy.

Thanks everyone for sharing your stories. This thread has been very educational.
