I am a little concerned for Gidgets 4 puppies. It was a long delivery first one at 1:36 A.M. the last at 7:04 A.M. No struggling, she did really well. Here is my concern.

Birth weight Wed AM Wed PM Thurs AM
----4.4 -------4.1-------4.1--------3.9
----4.8--------4.4-------4.4--------4.6
----4.4--------4.2-------4.2--------4.1
----5.1--------4.9-------5.1--------5.1

Gidget does have milk, they are nursing extremely well, no crying (like they are hungry) and their bellies do look full.

Should I worry? They have their Vet appt. tomorrow morning for check-up, dew claws and tails.

My other two litters with Emilee never lost weight after birth, so this is why I'm concerned. This is Gidget's first litter.
