My Olivia is 3 lbs at 11 months, and yes I am terrified I am going to step on her! A collar with a bell is a good idea, but make sure it is a harness bc her little neck is so fragile. The ones made for cats are smaller and they fit Livy wonderfully. Housebreaking for me was all a matter of timing. I still take her out every 2 hours, which might be a good starting point for you to try, since as you can imagine, her bladder is probably almost nonexistant! Also, I got her gradually used to rooms one at a time. Olivia really had a hard time going up and down the stairs, too, since her legs are so tiny. She only started using them in June or so, and she goes down sideways lol. I coaxed her with treats starting from the lower steps and gradually making her walk down more and more at a time. It took a few weeks, but now she doesn't hesitate.
Good luck, she's a cutie! |
