I think there are some special concerns with the tiny ones. I worry that Lucy is too fragile; she is not quite 4 lbs. She jumps like crazy and has knee problems. She has liver issues too. I constantly have to monitor what she is eating - too much protein; not enough, etc.

I work at home - so make sure she has a snack midday so she is not going too long without eating or drinking.

Just different from my Westie - who is so independent.
