I think 1 if over weight and other is under weight.. 
With your past experience, what would be the average wt of puppies at 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks?
Thank you!

From what I've read, newborns should normally double their birth weight after the first week...give or take a few. Your bigger one seems to be doing okay, but the smaller one hasn't gained much. Gaining anything IS better than losing, but I'd feel better if she started to gain more. Is she eating okay? Maybe you could supplement her more often.
I will say, Mardelin's whelping pudding recipie is great to use. I used it for my girl last year after she had her pups; added a little of it to every meal for as long as she was nursing. She loved it and she and her pups thrived!
Good luck with the babies; I pray they continue to do well & grow.
