I doubt if the eat over an ounce at a time, in fact it's probably more like a half ounce. If there is steady weight gain then I would not be concerned.
With the little one, I maybe would watch to see that he is not getting shoved aside. You might have to let him nurse by himself and keep the others away while he is eating.

Which weight do you go by the before feeding weight or the after feeding weight. I have had her do this a few times already and just when I think the pup has gained some I weigh them the next day and they are at the same weight as the previous day. I weighed them last night and 3 of them have a difference of 4 ozs. and the smallest one only 1/2 oz. So right now the pups growing patterns look like they are on a yoyo diet. Any advice will be appreciated. thank you |
