I have never found my 2 and 3 pounders any more prone to illness then a bigger 6 or 7 pounder..the difference I do find is a bigger Yorkie can have a bad day or two with a stomach upset and not need the ER...a 2 pound Yorkie can not lose much weight..it has to be nipped pronto...a 7 pounder can lose 1/2 pound and not become gravely ill...2 pounders dehyrate much fast then the bigger ones..
If Kate decides not to eat for the day, I am nto too concerned..she is nearly 5 pounds..but Becca is only 3 1/2 and I will fix her chicken before bedtime and give her Nutra Cal...
