You cannot treat them like a larger dog. They shouldn't be around small children. They need more protection. They are more physically fragile. When they get sick, they have lower reserves and they go downhill much quicker than a larger dog, so you can't delay on vet visits if something seems amiss. They do indeed have special needs that a larger dog does not have, and they deserve to have a human that understands all of this and will not have any trouble providing it. |
I haven't read all the posts.. but what you say here make perfect sence to me. The use of special needs for a tiny is not the same as for a child. It just means more loving care and protection...
