Default puppy

For what it is worth, I would not do anything right now. She is not showing any symtoms of being ill..she is eating well, no falling down, no seizures, no pain etc. If you take her to the vet for testing at this tiny stage it could stress her beyond her limit...then you have a very sick baby..might even die from it.
Get the others placed and then you can watch her day by day. You might have her legs or hips xrayed in a few weeks...but this is what I have learned...if she has liver shunt, you can not treat her at the 11oz stage..the vet would advise letting her get a bit older and strong for testing.
If there is a hip problem, the vet will not operate on an 11 oz pup..so you are in a "wait and see" mode.
I know you want to know now, so you can plan for the future to place her...but some answers take a long time and you have to set you emotions on hold for the time being..hard to do, but breeders must think of puppy first...which you are doing well..
