Just out of concern...I'm wondering, why is Gucci losing weight at 16 weeks? Is that normal? Or do you think he's just gearing up for a growth spurt? |
lol I have to watch my Hubby more than anyone else too! The girl that wants the dog doesn't even know anything about the breed she just saw one that was as big as a soup can and wanted it
.. I have tried to explain that they are A LOT OF WORK and hint around that maybe a REGULAR sized yorkie would be better. I didn't know yorkies were not supposed to be that small either when I got Gucci so I totally understand, he is even too small for me but I LOVE HIM DEARLY so we all watch out for him and get him whatever he needs.
As far as him losing weight, he is a CHUBBY BUTT lol... the vet always said he was chunky for his height and size but that eventually he would probably lose weight and taper off at somewhere around 4 lbs as an adult. I think that is what is happening with him right now as they usually stop growing around 6-8 mos. He has started eating slightly less than he was and has been super active since we got the x-pen and I think it's all just adding up .. vet says he's very healthy.. he actually has an appointment tomorrow for an exam and some vaccinations. I'll get a for sure weight then. Thank you so much for being concerned that makes us happy.
