Okay, I guess I am going to be the doom and gloom on this one. (And please excuse the novel.)

Some Tinies have special needs. Hypoglycemia can and does happen. Seizures happen. Tinies can be more prone to anxiety issues, digestion issues, and yes broken or dislocated bones. Sometime they even have higher vet bills just because of anesthia risks.

My experience has not been nearly as good as others. When I purchased Diva, she arrived sick from the get go. At barely three pounds she had diaharia and vomitting the night I got her. Even with nutrical, she would have seizures. She would refuse to eat so someone had to make sure to check on her through out the day. It turned out she had congenital birth defects.

It was an expensive investment, emotionally and monitarily. But I loved the little lady soooo much! I was devastated when she didn't make it.

Next I got Crickett. She too has a few issues. Mostly, she has anxiety issues. When stressed it effects her digestion and can sometimes go into a seizure. Luckly, thanks to Diva, I am now well versed in how to handle these.

She loves to run and jump. Just last night she was playing with Bailey and took a flying leap off of the arm of the chair, did a flip in the air and came down hard on her side hitting the hardwood floor. I froze, terrified that she had broken something. But before I could blink she was attacking Bailey's ear and trying to get him to play with her. It could have very easily have been a rush to the vet, as her bones are so frail.

I love Crickett like she is my child. In fact my 14 yro daughter calls her "Little Sister". I'm a push over for her and will pay whatever it takes to keep her happy and healthy.

My point is this, you might have a very healthy and wonderful tiny. But you might also have a high maintenance, special needs tiny. Are you prepared and in a position for the financial obligations that "may" come with her? If you are, then I say go for it!

I hope this perspective might help you. Good luck!
