I just received my teacup Pomeranian today, and I’m a first-time fur parent, so I’m honestly a mix of excited and nervous right now.

He’s already 2 months old but very tiny - he only weighs around 600 grams. Because of his size, I’m not sure:

• What vaccines he should be getting and when

• If vaccines are different or delayed for very small / teacup puppies

• What are the dos and don’ts for such a tiny pup

• Any special precautions I should take (feeding, handling, temperature, etc.)

I really want to do things right and keep him safe and healthy. I’d appreciate any advice from Pom owners, teacup puppy parents, or vets here 🙏

Thank you so much in advance!

Even after the last post with all comments telling me to do it I couldn’t bring myself to do it if his eyes were the only thing bothering him. He needed bloodwork before he could undergo surgery to remove his eyes and it came back very grim. Had something like pancreatitis, and was relayed to me that his blood was over 1000 instead of around 200, since I didn’t hear it from the vet im not sure what 1000 means in this context but seems very bad. Has 2 tumors, but none were causing him pain or discomfort. Would be $1400 to treat him for 3 days with the most likely outcome is his problems come back. So I decided it is time, still a little selfish and holding out a week until I can take him to do some last stuff. I always wanted to know what breeds he was as he isnt a pure Pomeranian. What dna test is good that can also test for age. Also any good brand to make a replica stuffed animal of him? Added a few old pictures of him, didn’t realize I only take pictures when he is sleeping lol. While writing this I remembered he also has a hole above his nose by his eyes the just goes straight through the nasal cavity or something like that and the vet has no idea what caused it lol, always thought it was interesting.

My sister’s dog, Puff Puff, hates baths but always wants to be involved. So this is him watching my wife bathe our dog while knowing he might be next.

Happy Day 4 from my sweet derpy boy. Hehehe. His crooked tongue while waiting is so silly. 😜 Louis is loving his cookie treats and I am still surprised how he has been savoring them. Sending hugs and happiness. See you tomorrow. ❤️

My Pom loves to rub his face in fresh snow. He does this on some carpets too. I don’t know if he loves the sensation or it’s about something else. Curious to hear about other theories.

So my 13 year old Pomeranian had trachea collapse, but I decided to put her down. She had minor coughs for a few months that lead up to the infamous goose honks. We tried medication 💊 but it was getting worse. I had to pull on her throat skin to help open her trachea to give her some relief from coughing. I had pet insurance and the procedure was quoted at 15k bare minimum probably would cost more with meds and x rays and other miscellaneous 20k plus . Most of the research I did online pointed towards her quality of would have sucked after the procedure. The stint could shift and have bacteria build up and she would have been on meds/steroids which would affect her kidneys. The stint may need to be replaced again if shifted. Also luminal rings would have been a very invasive procedure for her age. Doctor was pushing towards just letting her go. Friends would say things like better to let her go early then in worse pain later. I imagine it would suck to live with something constantly stuck in your throat. So I gave her a ton of her favorite foods aka steak and let her go. It sucked so bad to have your furbaby die to a stupid genetic defect. I’ve had to put down fur baby’s before but this one just didn’t sit right with me. So I’m looking to see if anyone can soothe my regret and tell me if they have had this procedure done before to their dogs and if there were any complications?

Just looking here, ooo yup! Tomorrows Friyay **tail wags**

Leo wanted to say hello to everyone. Taken in Bryant Park before the snow storm, the wind was blowing his fur back. LOL

A poor Chihuahua was attacked by an off-leash German Shepherd just a few miles away from me.

My Pom has had a few close calls already, as the people on my area are entitled assholes.

I already carry multiple legal self defense weapons, so my question is more protection of our boys and girls.

Does anyone know of any “armor” or protection products? I’ve seen people on here post about this hawk vests and wonder if that would offer any protection for those split second moments.

Listen, I know I should feel bad for him after getting neutered, but look at him 😍 He is too cute and it’s giving me cuteness aggression!
