| Troy and Weight Gain Troy is 4 months old and is 2.5 pounds. The breeder told me he'd grow to about 5 pounds or so. The vet says hes not gaining weight suffiently. I feed him quite a bit and often but he doesn't gain much. Do you guys have any suggestions or should I just let him be? |

| Mine also had trouble gaining weight so the vet put her on NutriCal. She would take a little bit in the morning and it was suppose to increase her appetite. She did gain a lb while she was on it, but just that 1. They gave it to her when she was about 4mths old, and the vet said to stop giving it to her by the time I took her for her 1yr check up. |

| Some lines slow down early in their growth. What was his weight at 12 weeks and what does the breeder say?
