Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While every dog is different, that is quite small for a 5 month old Golden Retriever. I highly recommend that you have Daisy evaluated by her veterinarian for further assessment. They would be able to check what may be wrong so that it can addressed. Best of luck!
