I am a big fan of my tinies...I may sound like I am unaware of the problems, but I am not...I have found no health problems that plague the tiny any more then a 6 pounder.

I do find them more prone to an accident due to people not seeing them, dropping them, improper care, falling of beds on to hard flooring...I had a 6 pounder, Clemmie fall of the couch and break her leg.

I have not seen low blood sugar, evver..I firmly believe it has a genetic component, as does a number of vets I have dealt with...of course you can be careless and not feed them properly and have a sick puppy...but I sure wish breeders would stop blaming the new owner..so unfair.

I read so many posts about low blood sugar and the need for the ER..it is heart breaking.

I blame breeders for selling these puppies too young to uninformed pet lovers who are not instructed in care by the breeder..I blame poor genetics also...
