We just got back from the vet and they had us put her on the large scale and it showed she weighed 4 pounds - no way! The vet brought out the baby scale and she weighed around 4 1/2. I still dont believe it. Even the vet said that when we brought her in at 3 months she was 3 pounds and she didnt think she could now be 4.
I brought her home, weighed her on my own scale, she was 4.6; last time I weighed her she was 5 1/2.
I dont think vets office didnt think much of it, I am just so surprised.
Bella has lost a pound. She did have tummy problems a week and a half ago and she clearly has lost weight.
Not a huge deal, I am, however planning on breeding next year and no way would I breed a 4 pound dog.
The vet was excellent though, and she said she personally has rarely seen problems with these little ones and was very non-judgemental and very comforting. ((Of course I know there are breeders on this board and you all would know better than anybody)).
I think I have to get her weight back up some though because when I originally got her she kept gaining weight and I had originally wanted a smaller dog and she is definately an over 5 pound dog.
Also, she has retained two of her baby canines (she is 1 1/2 old) so will have to have those removed.
I dont know - is that too risky, the thought of putting her under scares me.
I think the main problem is tarter buildup between the teeth but i am planning on doing a better job on them. What do you guys think?
Thanks for listening to my rambling.
