I just joined this site a few nights ago while I was researching foods for my new puppy.

Her name is Sophie and has earned the nickname piranha as she likes to lunge at fingers (any ideas on how to stop this would be greatly appreciated). She is not a purebred but fairly close. Her mom was a Biewer and her dad was a yorkie-poo, but the poodle was a few generations ago.

She has suffered from mild hypoglycemia once since I have had her. She refused to eat anything or drink anything. A little wet food, puppy milk replacement and a phone call to the vet fixed that right up. I have finally found a food that she will eat. I believe she has a corn/wheat allergy has she has been itchy since we got her and been checked for fleas, parasites etc. I found a food that she will actually eat with no wheat or corn. So she is finally starting to gain weight. When we picked her up she weighed 1.3lbs at 8 weeks, then still 1.3 lbs at her 10 week appointment. She has her 12 week appointment on Thursday and I bought a kitchen scale to weigh her myself before the appointment...and she varies between 1lb 14oz an 2lbs 0.5 oz, she won't stay still long enough (lol). So I am guessing she is probably 1.9lbs at the moment.

I added some pictures for everyone. The one with her and the other dog is the night I brought her home (with her big brother, pomeranian mix, Jackson), the one she is wet in was taken about a week ago I believe when she went swimming in the bathtub and apparently enjoyed it, the one on her back is how I found her one morning when I woke up (she is amazing at night, she sleeps 8 hours and only needs to go outside once around 4am), and the last one of her on my bed was taken tonight. She has gotten a lot more fur but has stayed pretty tiny.
