<< I have a major question about my runt pup. I was holding her, and I
decided to ompare sizes with the others. She didn't seem that much smaller
until I compared her with her sister. I don't even think she is half the
size of her sister. Is this a normal thing for a runt? I was hoping I could
send one or 2 of your 1 pic of her and her sister to show you how small she
is and if she is dieing or something. Please help me!!!
*She also likes licking things like wood, ceramic food bowls, etc.

I had the same problem a while ago, a small male pup in a litter of seven.
He never even opened his eyes! I tried everything, but they were permenantly
stuck, even at 6 weeks old. He was way smaller than all of his siblings, and
sadly he eventually died one day ):. An since she's a runt, that means
she'll usually get fed last, kind of like "the scraps". So she's probably
just really hungry, but I'd keep a close eye on her and make sure you see the
mom nursing her. (that's if she's still nursing.. (:)
