A friend of mine has a 2lb girl. She is still a puppy, just under a year, but she is not expected to get much bigger. We cheer when she gains an ounce or two! Anyway, I was worried too when my friend got her but she seems to be fine. She was able to be spayed once she hit 2lbs and that went OK. She is still super tiny and fragile IMO. Loki is 10 pounds and I think he is very small! She is mostly carried around - I don't think she'd get far on a leash. They did have a hard time finding a harness and collar that fit her but I found one at a local puppy boutique. I did hear that she fell recently, but again she seems to be OK. I think your biggest worry after health would be falls. Just make sure everything has puppy stairs and she knows how to use them, or simply keep her on the floor. Put a bell on her collar so you hear her! Oh, and she also had a hard time finding kibble that was small/soft enough for her. There are lots of options out there and she must already eat something. Oh, and this little girl even went to puppy classes!
Please keep us posted!! Good luck!! |
