This last little male I had weighed a bit under 2 oz he is now 4 weeks and 11 oz. Growing but not even close in size to his litter mates.
As long as the pup is not loosing anything and seems vigorus nursing I think you are okay. I would not worry yet if it was mine as long as there is not loss in weight.
Does the pup have to compete for nursing at all with the others?
They are only 3 days if born on MOnday I would just keep a good eye on the pup if it starts to drop anything even one gram I would be stepping in to supplement a few feedings. Or alone nursing time with mom.
Is the pup still on and nursing when her milk lets down? |
Thank you. No she does not have any competition. There are only 4 in this litter and they all seem to latch on just fine. She is still nursing
