He did have an ear infection and went down and I had to syringe feed him or he would have died. I was up feeding him when he was about 4 months every couple of hours to keep him going.
Even when the temperature changes he would stress.
He is doing much better now. He sleeps from midnight to 7 AM
But when you have one this tiny if he gets a virus it is very well going to be it. He cannot be put under for surgery
You never want a puppy this size not to purposely breed for these small ones.
Its not fair to them.
I feel blessed to be his guardian but I know that any day I could have a broken heart and I find every day with him a blessing to me.

Wow, bless his little heart. I worried like that about Ryder for the first couple months, I had NO IDEA he was going to be this small, and THANK GOD he finally made it to 2 lbs. I still have my doubts about breeding him though...he's only 5 1/2 months now, so time will tell I suppose...but if there's any risk involved I'm not doing it. Then again I'd be scared to death to have him put under and neutered. He's just so fragile. His lines don't generally carry pups that small, he just happened to be the runt. That's why I guess I don't understand people breeding these 2 and 3 lb females to purposely get TEENY TINIES...you just can't argue that they're as healthy as the standard sized babies...like you said, if something happens, that's it.
