The babies are three weeks old (Tuesday, May 8)! I cannot believe the difference in the size between these pups. The two standard boys weigh in at 16 3/4 and 17 1/8 ounces. The Biewer boy weighs 11 1/4 oz. The girls are 4 5/8 (not a typo!) and 11 oz. Should I be worried about the littlest one? I am going to talk to my vet tomorrow and see what they say. She is gaining, but very slowly. She seems active enough and eats well. I have supplemented her with puppy formula and Dyne. Tuesday, I made puppy gruel for them to eat. She at least tried, not sure how much she got down her. Gave them some again today. She is not crying and unhappy. I will try to get pictures of the puppies for everyone to see how much smaller she is. I am kind of worried that her siblings will accidentally hurt her.
Any advice is appreciated, I have had little ones before but they were always in the 7 oz range by this age. |
