She is genetically programed to be a certain weight. You can't change that by feeding her more just like you can't keep a large puppy within the standard by starving him.
If she is healthy and at a good weight, I wouldn't worry. If your vet feels she is too thin, she needs to have a bile acids test when she is a little older (about 20 weeks). Liver shunts are 36 times more common in Yorkies than all other breeds combined and poor weight gain is a symptom. |
No the vet says she is fine, she is just small and not just in weight,small all around
.Her dad weighs in at 2.5 and the mom I believe at 4lbs. My vet also told me he expects her to be at 2- 2.5 lbs ( something about doubling their weight at 14 weeks. Maybe, I'm the crazy one cuz i've never had such a small baby. I noticed just now how she wants her food to be very small to accommodate her tiny mouth, I Bought her the Royal canine tiny kibble and even that takes her a while to chew 1 piece . I wonder if like humans the size of the stomach is approximate in size to the size of her paw/hand.
