| Are these puppies gaining enough weight? I have attached a graph of my puppies weights (weighed at same time each day since birth) just curious if they are gaining enough. Since mom is small and it is a large litter it seems that she runs out of milk often yet we have difficulty getting the pups to latch to a bottle nipple - success once with only one actually. Nobody has lost weight but I want to see if more experienced breeders would be concerned with these numbers or if we are doing ok. |

| As long as they are gaining, I don't worry too much. If they stay the same or God forbid, lose weight, then I immediately suppliment. I like to see them at least double their birthweight at the end of the first week. If you have one not doing as good as others, I would try to give him/her a little time on their own... |
