Even with daily brushing she required two very expensive surgeries, the second one leaving her with only her canines. The vet said it is common in dogs this small even with the brushing.
I would advise getting a very good vet and being very careful about who does any surgery on your baby. Mine was done at the University of Minnesota and had all of the latest anesthesia protocols and pre-surgery labs. Mine of course is a higher anesthesia risk because of her open fontanelle which the vets there said is also very common in tiny dogs. Check for that before any surgeries. Also plan on dedicating a lot of time and research into tiny dog health issues.
As far as physical changes, mine only had her coat lighten over time and although I know each is different, mine quit growing at 4 months. Her weight has improved a lot as has her appetite since I put her on Nature's Recipe for toy dogs, the only kibble I found that is soft enough and small enough. (without teeth, hers has to be crushed of course) Good Luck to you! They are so worth it!

Oh my god she is so cute!!

Yes we do. I gave both of my 2 lb puppies to my mom, as she likes the little one. I do not breed for 2 lb puppies, it just happens sometimes. Their names are Itsy Bitsy 3 years old & & Thumbelina 1 year old. My Kalenia who went to visit her cousins. She weighs 4lbs.

They are great! i couldn't imagine not having him. The little ones are fragile though and i worry a lot that he will hurt himself but he is very tough.

I have one very healthy. She get cold very easy. She is also the biggest baby I have ever seen. If my daughter is not home with her she cries the whole time she is gone.

She is 15 months old and 2.12 pounds

That is Ryder in my avatar. He is 1 year old and just now 3 pounds.

Thanks, they fill my mom's heart with lots of love, as my dad past away suddenly. They make her happy, which makes me very happy I had them for her.

My Toby just turned a year, and he bounces back and forth between 2.4 and 2.6, and he is perfectly healthy, he has never been sick!
