    Google Teacup Maltese’s. Otherwise treat her like any other dog except be more careful and gentle with her as her small bones can be hurt easily. How cute and EXCELLENT LUCK with her.
    * Smaller meals etc.

    There is no such thing as a ‘teacup’ anything. It’s a softer word than ‘runt’ used to make the dog more marketable. It’s extremely likely that your dog will have massive health problems in the future, so start saving your money for vet bills now. Here are some websites about the Maltese breed, please do your research in advance in the future: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltese_(dog)

    Edit: a weight of “4 to 6 pounds preferred” is standard for a Maltese according to the AKC. What you have is a Maltese, not a “teacup” anything. Hopefully you didn’t get ripped on the price, thinking you were getting something special.

    What’s with all these teacup dogs????? Arn’t they just runts???

    I guess you just have to be more careful and gentle with it. Make sure you feed it, walk it, play with it and take it to the vet when it’s sick or needs it’s yearly shots.

    TEA CUP ANYTHING is a myth designed by unscrupulous breeders to sell something for more money. Looks like it worked.

    You take care of her as you would any Maltese. you know malteses are tiny dogs anyway?????
