| Your Max is so sweet. Sorry you are worried about his weight, etc. I would also say to check with the vet regarding his weight and diet. Are you weighing him at home? The vet's office ususally has a puppy or small animal scale that is more accurate than the larger scale. This may help give a more accurate reading. Lots of good luck. Max will be Ok if he is on a feeding schedule and you continue to groom him everyday and bathe him at least once per week or more. |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | What are you feeding him. I don't think I have ever heard of a yorkie that gained that much in a week.

| I have been feeding him wellness puppy formula for about 2 weeks now before that is was nature something from wal mart (no good) and the 1/2 lb was at the vet that is how i know that was accurate because they weighed him at 4 then a week later they weighed him and it was 4 1/2 i have been using my postal scale lol but i know it is accurate because when i weigh him at home right before i go to the vet we both get the same i have kept him on the same schedule since i have had him i brush him at least 3 times a day and he gets bathed once a week his eyes cleaned daily or if they get dirty sometimes as much as 6 times a day and i now clean his ears with every bath |
