She is still doing well, she shed yesterday. I'm still wanting to get her in for an x-ray, this week or early next week I think I will have time to bring her. She is absolutely adorable

It can cause deformities in the bones, difficulty with daily tasks, internal problems, and leaves you more prone to diseases like arthritis or back problems. Purposely creating an animal that will have a difficult time living seems cruel to me.
I personally think silkbacks seem unhealthy

anyway.. i dont think she is a "dwarf" achondroplasia the most common form of dwarfism.. short arms large forehead and curved spine along with a host of other bone and joint issues... she just looks to have a very short neck and crooked tail with normal legs..
lets not call her a "dwarf" lets call her a "little dragon" or thumbalina would be cute as she is thumb sized
i hope she thrives and will live a long and happy life
oh yeah i was wondering if she has any mobility issues?

What a shame Its still good that you got the x-rays so you have a better idea what to do or not do with him. the x-ray is kind of hard to see. did he say anything about the bone structure, and the short neck? Did the vet give any ideas on how much of an impact this is gonna have on the little guy as he grows?
