She sounds like she's within a good weight range, to me. Our Runners are between 3 and 4.5 pounds, and I believe KCs are about in that range. Our Khaki-Rouen mix girl is a little on the hefty side, but still around 4 pounds (I think 3 of her grandparents were Khakis, one a Rouen).

She may have a bit of a fungal infection of her vent - that can happen. Something to ask the vet, since a few of them seem to focus on bacterial...
