| Round Yorkie Puppy So I just picked up my baby Leilani last Sunday! I was just wondering if a puppy could be too plump? Shes 12 weeks now and weighed in at 2lb 4oz on May 10th. Her stature is small (small legs and head), but shes just so round in the midsection. Does this pudge go away as she ages or is she being overfed? |

| Looks absolutely normal and gorgeous to me. My Canyon weighed 2 lbs 2 oz at 13 weeks and he looked just like that. So sweet. |

| I think that's normal, but be sure to have her examined at the vet (if you haven't yet), and take in a fresh fecal sample to test for worms... |

| Have her checked by a vet - for worms if she's seeming too round in the belly. With that said - no such thing as an overweight puppy, imo

| Yeahhh ... I would guess worms too. /-: You have to really persevere when it comes to worming puppies! :-P

Most times (not all) puppies who have that round belly have worms.

Worms?? That would explain an distended abdomen.... I'll be sure to take a fecal sample in on Monday! Her breeder took her in a couple of weeks ago and basically told me all was well, and she wasn't really growing... just outward so her weight couldnt really be a predictor of her size. | ||
