I learned the hard way that the vet does not always know best...there is no reason to give a vaccine to a pup that small....KiKi was very little too and when I got her at 13 weeks she was barely 16 oz....and she had lots of problems for the first year...especially after a shot or flea treatment or heartworm med...the vet and I agreed to stop it all..and she has been good for 2 months now and finally gained some weight...she is now 13 months and weighs 2lb 10 oz...karo syrup in his water to make sure his glucose level stays up is a very good idea....
Good luck..keep us posted.
