I've just got a beautiful little lurcher pup. I was told she is ten weeks old, but she is absolutely tiny. I have no way to weigh her but judging from my cats weights I'd be surprised if she's more than 2.5/3kg. She's probably about 8 inches to the shoulder at the moment. I can see all of her ribs and her hip bones are very prominent.
I have got some high quality kibble as well as grain free wet food and plan to feed little and often. She will be going to the vets for a check when they open on Tuesday.
Anything else I should be doing in the meantime? I feel like I'm in way over my head. I was planning for a healthy 10 week old!
