Default Cross post about Growth...

Ok, so I know that the growth chart is just a guide...but I am a little concerned. When we got Becks a little over 6 weeks ago, he was 2.2 lbs at 13 weeks. According to the chart he was on target for about 4-4 1/2lbs. Today, he only weighs 2.6lbs (chart predicting an adult weight of 3-3 1/2lbs.)

Now, I know that a 1lb difference in the adult weight is not a big deal (although we were more comfortable with the bigger size)...what really concerns me is that he has only gained 4 ounces in 6 weeks. According to the chart, he should have gained 10 more ounces than he has.

Is this something that I should ask the vet about? We see a vet on base for his shots, but for anything else we take him in town. Should I call and ask the town vet? I am not normally such a worry wart...but our last yorkie was a very healthy 8lbs...I never had to worry about him
