Hey, everyone. So I just called the breeder. She clarified that the pup was 1 ounce at birth. At 12 days old, he is now 5 ounces. Anyone want to give me some feedback on this?

Is this too much of a rapid increase? I'm sure we have to take into account that he is being bottle fed in between feedings, to make sure he catches up to the rest of the puppies. The rich fat in the momma's milk must be a lot for him, but I'm not sure if this is still quite abnormal for a two-week old.

Feedback is appreciated. Thank you.
