She looks bigger than the weight you described- Id have her weighed again to make sure it wasn't a scale error. I randomly bring oakley in to the vet and they let me put him on the scale then leave. As far as the bumps- they looked like flea bites to me…..it's always wise to bathe the pup before using topicals (especially at such a young age). Since you've alteady applied a topical, next step would be to wash and vacuum the whole house....I use a human live comb to comb through Oakleys fur since it's black, places like the tail and base of tail, underarms and head are hotspots to find them- if you still don't aee relief then I would go back to the bets because of it's something environmental then you need to adjust
Tiny bumps all over his coat
-
Hi, my sweet Marley has tiny little bumps (about the size of a beebee) all over his body. Started out about four days ago and is spreading all over his coat, even on his head. Any ideas??

hives, usually from an allergic reaction to something eaten, but can also be from a bug bite/sting.
Has he had anything new to eat?
Best bet is to call the vet's office, explain the situation, ask if benadryl will help and how much. Also if he appears itchy, a cool bath helps.Four days is a long time from a bite/sting. So I'd almost bet it's food or environment related and it's a series of reactions to the same trigger.
Let us know how it goes.

Thanks so much for the feedback. We haven't changed his diet but he eats just about anything he finds in the yard. I'll call the vet and see what they say.
