Never had a problem. But, then I've never had wee ones. Most of mine are 5 plus ounces when they are born and and over a pound at 8 weeks.
But, according to my breeder, because I've asked her the same question, you should work with your vet when they're that small. She's had a couple of what she calls Dinky Do Nothings that she wouldn't vaccinate until they were closer to 4 months of age. But, then those she kept until they were well over 6 months of age. You know Dr Dodd has web site and I think she has a question and answer area.
