I will be getting Eva in 4 days. And my mom has been asking if we need to do anything different since she isn't a mix. The other three have really been a breeze but they weighed a bit more when we go them and the weather wasn't as cold. I know its probably just me being a worry wart.

I have my older ones eating home-made and raw mixture. Should I trans Eva to this or give her a bit longer on dry. I'm not sure what the breeder is feeding her currently I just know that it is dry food.

Any good links for clothes for super small ones or patterns.

Not sure if you're in the uk ,but pets at home have a puppy section and there's tiny tiny clothes there,tiny toys and tiny beds they really are so sweet.

How small is she? Many here have made clothing out of socks for their little ones. There are videos here and a few posts about it. Some also buy clothes for ferrets.

I would do a slow transition on the food. It's just seemed to always work out better for me that way. Ease her into the new stuff, but continue to feed the old food for a few days, slowly weaning her off the old and on to the new.

I'm in the US. The smallest we have is xs and those will be too big for her.

I've looked and have a few socks that I think are cute but I want to wait for her to get her so that I get the measurements right.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if it would be different since I'm feeding 90% raw.

Thanks ladies. I'm sure that the worry is just me over thinking stuff.

Hope was 1.5 pounds when we got her and she could wear an XXS and shorly after an XS.
Have you searched for XXS?
Also, you could get someone on etsy to make something for her.

Here is some stuff from amazon:

I have seen xxs at Petsmart and xxxxs on Etsy and Ebay.

...and Jenn, you would know with your sweet little peanut.

My girls are not small (they are XS or sometimes S) so it is easy to find clothes for them most places and certainly online. Plus, the other 2 get all of Hope's because she hates clothes. haha!
