A small dog has very delicate legs especially when they are puppies and their bones are still developing. Please be careful not to allow your puppy to jump off of the furniture or other high objects. In addition to leg injury, the small dog may develop what is known as an "acquired" umbilical hernia. These usually go away by the time a puppy is 6 months old, but it truly is an injury that could be prevented by not allowing your puppy to jump or fall from the furniture.
Please be extra cautious of young children with small puppies. It is so easy for them to drop a puppy or accidentally step on one. Children must be monitored with dogs at all times. If you are unable to supervise the children and or puppy, please put the puppy in his crate, or in a safe room.
