I feel you concern. You are lucky because your babies are good weight, but make sure you watch them closely all the time. I am struggling with a tiny pup not gaining weight for over a week. On 3/5 (Monday) this singleton puppy was delivered through c-sec. It took over an hour to revive this baby. I don?t even know what its weight was at birth because I was fighting for its life for first couple days. On day 3 it weighted only 3.1 oz. I had to help it nurse every couple hours but obviously it was too weak to get enough. The weight wasn?t going up. It got dehydrated on Saturday so I had to take it to the ER for a shot. Since Saturday besides helping it nurse I am supplementing every 2-3 hours after it nurses. Today it was only 3.4 oz., but it is better than nothing to me. I pray for my baby and I hope it will survive. Did anyone have a tiny puppy like mine that grew up to be a healthy yorkie?
