my beloved nika was a singleton pup. she was delivered by c-section. as a full grown adult she weighed 5 pounds, although when she was born, she was a little larger than the norm. we gave her a little fish cat toy (without catnip) that she accepted as her littermate. plus, her mommy played with her and of course she got all of her mommy's attention. she was very well socialized despite not having a littermate. she did have some health problems, (allergies, pancreatitis) but they were not related to her being a singleton pup.
congrats on the new bundle of joy! |
