I hope this is some help to you. Congratulations again xxx xxx
Welcome to YT and congratulations! I have have just gotten two pups (3 days ago). One is 16 weeks old and 1 is almost 14 weeks old. The first weighs @ 2lbs and the second is a little over a pound. They eat four times a day right now. Wet food in the am @ 7, cottage cheese @ noon, wet/ with crushed kibble @ 5 pm and cottage cheese @9:30 pm all of course in small amounts as their stomachs are awfully small. They also get Nutrical once in the am and at bedtime to keep the blood sugar up. They each have dry kibble and water bottles in their crates at night, just in case. Good luck with your new baby!
