Donating YT 11K Club Member | Question about puppy weights There are 2 Yorkie puppy sisters....At 1 wk, 5 days(12 days) puppy #1 weighed 7 oz and puppy #2 weighed 6 oz...now at 3 weeks old puppy #1 weighed 16 oz and puppy #2 weighed 15 oz. Is that possible that they gain that many ounces so quickly? They are the only ones in the litter so maybe they are drinking a lot of milk but is that possible? Momma is 5 lbs, daddy is about 3 lbs. Just wondering..

| It is possible. Just keep an eye out for eclampsia and make sure that you are giving her plenty of calicum and good feed. I would make sure that she gets lots of meals to supply the demand.

| Your puppies are making up for lost time! They're probably milk fat. My two were 8.9 and 8.8 at 12 days. At 21 days they were 13.2 and 15.2. I weighed my puppies every single day and kept a chart for the first 4 weeks and then weekly after that. Can you spell anal retentive?

| I feel better knowing I'm not the only one! I have an entire BOOK of everything that transpired from the second she was AId until...well, I'm still writing in it and they are 4 months old today!
