I really appreciate all your responses. I have never had a dog this small before and it's good to learn from those who have experience with them. I am attaching a picture of my yorkie and in the second pic, you will notice that the fur on her left leg (that will be the right leg in the picture) was trimmed. They inserted IVs to her leg when she was at the vet and also took tissue samples by scraping some flesh off her neck. Thank God her fur will cover the scar if ever there will be one.
If her teeth doesn't fall out by next month, I will definitely bring her back to the vet to have her babyteeth pulled out. She is 7 months now, so she should be losing them any time soon now.
I like the idea of feeding very small dogs, who are prone to hypoglycemia, with high-calorie dog food. It just makes sense to me. And I guess I don't have to worry about over-feeding her, as you guys stated.
I have started running my finger accross her teeth every now and then to get her used to having her teeth brushed, but I wonder if that's ok since her babyteeth has not come off yet.
With her size, I also wonder if it will be ok to leave her in our garden unsupervised. Our garden is secure and free of poisonous stuff, but her size makes me worried. Even our next-door neighbor's cat is bigger than her. And also, I am worried of the hawks and eagles that might prey on her. Probably I am just worrying too much. LOL.
Anyway, she is due to be weighed again next week. Hopefully she will weigh more by then.
Thanks again. I am so glad to have found this website.
