hello and welcome!!! I agree - he's definitely not too small! If you are worried about size, take him to a vet that specializes in small dogs, or you could take them to an animal shelter to be fixed. That's what I'm doing with my boys, and it costs about half as much as our vet. humane societies fix puppies all the time, so they will for sure know what they're doing. My Tank is 4 lbs, and my Joey is 5.5 or so, and they're full grown. I did wait a while to get them fixed (their appointment is in 3 weeks, and they're 16 months and 22 months...), but I'm certain they would have been fine younger also. I would definitely be very careful with your little guy! I've heard of a lot of people having nutra cal on hand at all times in case they go hypoglycemic, which can happen with tinies since they have tiny tummies and can't eat enough to hold their blood sugar high for long periods of time. They're also very fragile, so you'll have to be gentle and not allow them to jump off of things and such. Good luck - I hope you get your little guy!!! |
