I raised a tiny like this exactly 1 year ago, my little Emma the same way. She is 1 and weighs just under 2 pounds. I would like to not have these tinies, I much prefer the robust 4-5 ounce babies at birth that look like little frog bellies each time they feed and gain fast.
Good luck with your little one. Keep us updated. |
Thanks! Me too...If I could choose on size , I will stay with the 4-5 ounces babies ...when I see my puppies happy and healthy I'm happy.
Baby is eating good, seems healthy and is up to 2.9 oz today.
