We finally picked up our little man this weekend. He was much tinier than I had thought, and the pictured showed. We now have doubts he should have left his mama yet, at barely 6 weeks old, but we drove three hours and didnt realize until after reading, etc yesterday/today that the standard it to not sell these tiny pups until much later weeks.

Please tell me if there is anything else I can be doing for him. He weighs 1 lb 1 oz (as of Friday at "breeders" vet, which I verified he had a complete health exam personally with them on the phone Saturday). He is a morkie (yorkie/maltese). He is scheduled to go to my vet next weekend (unless the need arises sooner obviously).

FOOD:He is eating puppy chow made mushy with warm water then microwaved and cooled before feeding, and is drinking water well,

ACTIVITY: he is peeing and pooping, playing with toys, chewing on toys, following our yorkie around and playing with him (with verey close supervision by us), sleeps 20min-1hr or so after about 15-20 minutes of activeness. He has food/water available at all times, and we remind him to eat every couple hours minimum. He has several snuggle blankets he curls up in, in his crate, and another in his little bed. He also gets held lots.

He seems happy, but is just so tiny Im concerned. He does whine when left alone in(but sleeps happily in his crate, even goes into it himself and curls up to sleep).

Last night, his first night home he slept from 930-230, 250-415, 430-6, then 6-7ish with me in bed...pretty well i think. When he woke I put him on his pee pad and he peed immediately once, offered food, he always ate/drank..then almost promptly went back to sleep...occasionally tried to play, i calmed him and put back to sleep in crate/blankets.

Anything Im missing/should look further into?
