Karen, I remember on the other post that you have this sling:

Custom made soft fleece sling dog pet carrier by petcollarsandmore

I want to get this but I don't know what size I should get. Smeagol is 5 lbs and 12" long from neck to tail while standing. Do you mind telling me what size you have and how big are your girls and how do they fit in it? TIA.

Sure.
I got the XS. I got it for Eden who at the time was 3 pounds.
Now, both she and Ruby like to be in it. Together!!
They both fit. Ruby is a bit under 4 pounds and Eden a bit under 3.5 pounds so I would think a 5 pound baby would fit great in it.

You could also message her and ask just to be certain. She was kind to make mine a bit longer since I am plus sized. She responded right away.

Thanks so much Karen that really answered my question. I will def ask her about it too. But I think XS will be fine. Thanks again.

i need help with my 6 month old girl chihuahua. She is listless and not her self. She just had her first period and had not eaten of drank much of anything. She is skin and bones, an i am really worried. The vet gave her an antibiotic but it had no effect. I gave her an asprin to lower her slight fever and that has helped a bit. I have been feeding and hydrating her with a syringe. What else can i do? Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
