I have a 4 week old puppy weighing 5.5 oz. She was born weighing about 1.5 oz. I fed her by hand and kept her in a little incubator until a few days ago. She's now back with her litter, all at least twice her size. She's active, walking, trying to run, eating off a plate, very responsive to human voices, and generally acting like her bigger siblings. Since I've never had anything this tiny before, I'm hoping someone can fill me in on what to expect and how to care for her going forward. She's smaller than most hamsters right now and it's downright scary....Thanks.
