I did tell her I would be scared to let mommy dog continue to feed them for she could become very ill and next time might not be good. as her vet has already told her. but she feels momma dog is now doing great and the pups are only feeding from her now. anyways the pups are now 4 1/2 weeks old and they are all close in weight around .54 I was wondering if anyone knew what these pups might weigh at adult age, I did look at the growth chart, but couldn't figure it out. |
What is .54.
You are right, these puppies are 4 weeks old and can lap from a plate. They can be fed a gruel of Goats Milk and Gerbers Rice Ceral with a bit of Karo Syrup. Mom shouldn't be nursing them as she has had two episodes of eclampsia.....
Ask her if the life and health of girl is not important.
Weight charts; toss them away. All is dependent on the lineage of these pups.......
