I forgot to add that at this age and for a tiny puppy, you must be on the lookout for signs of hypoglycemia as it can quickly cause death in a tiny, young pup who has run out of glucose - as the tiny ones tend to do. Be sure that you know exactly what to do if your dog starts to act lethargic or strange in any way, give him instant Nutrical or karo syrup or sugar water or anything to get the blood sugar up and rush him to the vet. Don't wait for morning or anything like that. Go then. Sugar and the vet in that order. Please read up on what to look out for and don't leave him unattended for very long, including night, without a health check for signs of this. Once the dog is heavier and not so tiny, the problem tends to disappear, though my sister's tiny poodle puppy had hypoglyemic problems for the first 6 mos. of his life.
