I just brought home my new baby girl, Maya! I'm concerned because she is sooo tiny! She's only 6 weeks old!!! Any advice? I feel she's way too young but maybe I'm wrong. I got her home, she smelled like she'd been in a dirty litter. When I bathed her she had fleas! I did not have this experience with my Elijah, so I don't know what to make of this. Physically she seems fine and I'll see in a bit if she'll eat like the breeder said she would. I'm calling the vet in the morning to get her checked out but in the mean time...any advice or thoughts? Is 6 weeks is too young to be away from her mama or am i just being overly concerned?

~And yes, I did check the breeder out before I got her. She and her husband have a reputable 27 year breeding history. ????
