They are doing excellent. My boy yorkie lets her bite and chew on him and he just lays there and takes it

Matilda Noel is just s beautiful! hope to see more pictures as she grows up.

Oh maltese are so loveable. I love the snow white fur. I'm glad they both get along. She is so small right now its not like they can play much. But it won't be long. Glad she is doing better.

Her being so small is really hard. I had to take her to emergency twice because of her sugar drop. My breeder said I really can't let her play more than a minute a couple times a day. I will do anything to make sure she puts on some weight and not have to go through that again!

i remember when bam bams bark was like a little bird... it was hilarious to hear... congrats on your new baby!

Any idea how big she will get when she is full grown? (How big are her parents?) I am sorry you had to take her to the ER twice. Are you giving her nuti-cal already? and that's not working? (nutri-cal worked wonders for me when milu was littler and just wouldn't eat anything)

Good luck with your baby!

Good luck with your baby!

The breeder thinks 2 1/2 to 3 lbs, Im hoping for at least 4 lbs. Mom was 5 and Dad was 3 lbs. She came from Brazil, and I never saw her parents though. I have got her on rice with chicken and dry food (Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lovers Soul) I have been giving nutrical at least two times a day or if I see her droopy. At the moment she weighs 1 lb 6 ozs and is 14 1/2 weeks old. Does this seem normal?

I don't know if the weight is normal or not, but I think yorkies and maltese are pretty similar in size (?) so, maybe that could be used as a benchmark? My little milu was 1.7 lbs when she was 12 weeks old, and last time she was weighed she was 2.7 lbs at 6 months. I would definitely feed her as much as I can (if she doesnt' like to eat) as not to stunt her growth.

Good luck, she is a sweetie pie!

she is so little, having a little bell on her might be helpful. (milu wears a bell, and it's great, now i always know where to find her)

I can't really let her on the ground yet, well at least that is what my breeder is suggesting. As soon as I do, she starts sliding all over the wood floors, I think its adorable, he feels its too much exertion for her. So, I carry her all day. I hope she remembers how to walk when this is all said and done!
