| Gaining weight too fast My twelve week old yorkie has gone from 1 lb. at 9 weeks to 1 lb. 12 oz at 12 weeks. Do you think that's too much in a few weeks? On one hand I'd think not but her weight gain had been steadily growing at a slower rate until that point. I just wonder if it's common for them to grow faster during this time period. Obviously I know she should be gaining weight :-) |

| I dont think so either. Roxi has gained 12 oz in 3 weeks also and her vet said that was normal! |

| She probably just had a growth spurt. Also was she weighed on the same scale both times. If not it might be the difference in scales. also might be the vet tech. I bought a postal scale off of ebay so I can watch Ollie's weight more closely. |
