MH is thinking she will have alot of health issues due to her being the runt! I say everyone need to be loved and I love everything about her!!

Will she have more issues because is she is the runt? Will she be smaller then I think? I know it is hard to tell every dog is different! Thanks so much for any help!
Just because she is 13 oz at 5 weeks really doesn't mean anything. Until they get closer to 12 weeks, the charts can be way off. They are sometimes off even after that. Just because they're small doesn't mean they're going to have health problems. I know a lady that has a 2 lb yorkie that is now 8 years old and she never has had a problem with her.
