My new baby, Minnie, is now 16 weeks and 1.4 pounds. She is my first experience with a tiny one. I have had her now for 4 weeks and she has done super great...no issues at all. I am fortunate that her breeder educated me very well on her needs and possible problems, she sent me home with everything I would need, plus gave me more nutri-drops last week. She is available for me to call 24/7 if needed. Plus, since she is my third yorkie puppy and I have learned so much on YT, I felt like I could take care of her...if she had been my first, I would have been a nervous wreck.
My vet checked Minnie and said she seemed to be healthy, just tiny.
My only problem with Minnie is that she thinks she is as big as the other dogs...
She wants to run and play with them. Rily and Saydee have been great with her too. Minnie doesn't have the "run of the house" and will not for some time. I bought a used Pack & Play pen and we keep her in there when we can't keep an eye on her. She likes it and will roll and play for a long time by herself. I'm really nervous about when my children visit with their dogs, so Minnie will be in the playpen during their visits.
I do worry about her bones being so fragile. I will probably always "baby" her more than the other two.
Good luck with your little one!
