| I don't think there really is an average.... but I'd say at least 1/2 pound per pup that she is carrying..... I am taking this estimate from what I think my girls gain while pregnant. It could be more or less.... some really eat... some not too much. Hope this helps.

| Each dam is different. Depending on the size litter she's carrying.
