Hi and Welcome to YT.
Mine is not too little, she is about 4.5 pounds and almost 9 years old. All I can say is..be very slow when walking and don't make any quick movements because they will always be at your feet. Make sure that the house is child proof in the sense that everything that might have a chance of falling off on top of her is moved. During the winter I always keep a heating pad on low for my little ones. This helps to retain calories for organ energy instead of expending it in maintaining their temp. Also, when they are this little do not worry about portion size. Make sure that there is always food (and water) around for her to get at, whether it is kibble or canned. Their metabolism is very fast and they burn off calories at a very high rate. Hypoglycemia is a fact of life when they are that small. So as the others posted, keeping some Nutrical around is important. Good luck and congratulations!
