| Weight prediction Four months ago I posted this: " he is 6 mos. and weighs 5 lbs. He weighed 3.5 lbs. at 12 weeks. The vet says he should be up to 7 lbs. by 8 mos. But originally he told me they stop growing at 6 mos. Huh?" Well now my Jackson is 9.5 months old. I weighed him yesterday and he weighs 6.2 pounds. So doubling the 12 week weight didn't really work and he hasn't gained weight since he was about 7 months. |

| weight Is he neutered. I find neutering can add weight..but the 12 week guide is not always correct. I find it very close with unspayed and neutered adults..then they can add weight when altered..but the frame does not grow. Some stop growing at 6 to 8 months and some grow for a year. |

| best predictor I think, in my case, you should triple the 8 week weight. Mine weighed 2lbs at 8 weeks. |

| Stewie is right at the weight I predicted @ 12 weeks. He was 2.75lbs and is now 5.5 at 6 mos. I am thinking he will probably put on a bit more weight after I neuter him.
