DOGGY SITTING PUPPY NEED ADVICE?
He is a 7 week old Maltese shih-tzu mix. Ive always had large breeds and don't even know how often to feed him. i'm trying to research online but figured this would be better. Also he was sneezing a bit, is this common for a dog thats so small. He only weighs a couple pounds and fits into the palm of your hands. I'm watching him for my friend he went into premature labor. I cant call her to ask questions because shes sick in the hospital. anyone with teacups or know about small breeds ID LOVE THE ADVICE!!!
I found a great website that helped me with my teacup poodle!! I feed him twice a day about 1/2 cup of soft food in the morning before work and at night when we get home. in the evenings i may even give him a soft treat before bed. have fun with him! I hope your friend is okay!

First off this dog is way too young for being away from its mother…
keep the puppy in a crate or bed with a ticking clock underneath so he feels its a heart beat
keep him with some warms blankets…
the amount of food should be on the bag of food…on the back of it…
hopefully the owners are feeding good food and nothing like "purina"
hopefully the owners have taken the dog to the vet because the sneezing can be a sign of something…

Put about a quarter cup of food in his bowl twice to three times a day and let him eat. I'm sure the sneezing thing isn't anything to worry about.
