She is very, very small. It could mean that she will only be about 2 or slightly over when full grown. Be careful as they are very, very fragile . . . .I cannot wait to see pictures . . I bet she is adorable and precious

that's EXACTLY how much Tila weighed
she's 5 lbs. now

she was fine, just small I guess?
she gained weight quickly, but I think it was becausee
she was just GROWING
not that she was malnourished

Please do have some Nutrical on hand though, and I would recommend giving it before bed, and ANY time you have to leave your little one alone for a while. And heck, if you want to - give her some in the morning as well. It can't hurt 'em

Forgot to say that Stedman is now 8 months and 1 week old and weighs 4lbs and is a very healthy boy

I'm sure yours will grow to be a very healthy weight as well, just small like Stedman. Probably around 3-3.5 lbs or more

My Ava was only 1lb and like 5-6 ounces when I got her around 11 or 12 weeks (I pretty sure she was that old, maybe 13 weeks...) Either way, she's now right at 3 lbs at 8 months of age. We're hoping for 4 lbs and I'm quite confident that through maturity, maybe around 16 months she'll achieve that and even better closer to 5 (we're hoping!).

Don't worry too much about the weight, seriously. If you're vet thinks she's proportionate, don't worry so much and just watch what and how much she eats and drinks and kinda make a mental note of it and what she does when out on her potty breaks. If you notice something a little abnormal, call your vet and ask, or an experienced Yorkie owner.

My boy was pretty small... At 11 weeks he weighed in 1 1/2 lbs and now, at 5 months he's getting close to 4 lbs. He'll probably be around 5 or 6 fully grown. I'd say your baby will be 3.5-4 lbs - just a guess? The charts weren't very accurate with my Yorkie.

TJ was 1.8 lbs. at 12 weeks.

He stayed about 3.5 to 4 lbs, then after he turned 1 year old - THE LITTLE PIGGY EMERGED!!!

Now he is approx. 6.5 lbs

Stormi was 1.4 at 14 weeks. That is when I finally brought him home. After about three days he developed hypoglycemia and for two weeks solid, I had to set the clock and feed him every three hours! NOW he is a major toot and rules my house of 8 babies at 3.3 lbs. Just keep a close eye, cause Stormi was great for about 2 1/2 days before he went down.

My Coco bear was only 1 lbs even when she was 12 weeks and I thought she was TINY. Did keep nutrical on hand a lot..but she never had a hypoglycemic attack or anything. She's a healthy 4 lbs 12 oz at 1.5 years.

My little guy was 1.4 at 16 weeks. He's 1 1/2 years old now and weighs 5 lbs.

ilovelouie · 10-27-2006, 10:49 AM

My little Bella was 1.6 lbs at 13 weeks and is now around 4 to 4 and a half lbs on a chubby day lol. Louie was 2 lbs at 16wks and is now around 5 lbs. so I think she will be fine. I would LOVE to see pics!

Sorry im no help as i have yet to figure out posting pics no matter how many times everyone tells me how. but i cant wait to see pics of your baby.

my2boyz · 10-28-2006, 05:59 PM

Do you have a photo shop in your computer like PictureIt or something like that? If so just go there and resize your pictures and save them to a folder, I save mine at 600 by 450 and the size is fine for YT. Once you have them resized you open the thread you want to put them in, scroll down to the area for additional options (under the reply box) and click on manage attachments. Once you do that just type in the name of the folder, hit the browse button and find the name of your picture then click on it, click on the download button and you're all set.

Our Toto was 1 lb. 8 oz. at 16 weeks .... she is now over 3 yrs. old! She has always been very healthy ... we followed our vets instructions to the letter and always called her if there were any questions no matter how trivial. We gave her vet formula NutriCal for several months after we brought her home [about a pea sized bit, 4 times a day]! She is a very picky eater and eats a very healthy diet. Right now she is a couch potato and over 2 lbs. overweight! Her recommended weight is no more than 3 lbs. Our biggest problem was not being afraid of her!

I'll bet your baby will be fine .... enjoy her!

I'm not sure if this would work. Here's the pictures of my new baby. Excuse the background.
