Hmm so it must have been the vets scales which were off do you think?
Im just confused LOL! Is 3.3lbs healthy for a 12 week old?

If the vet's scale is wrong there definitely is a problem since they prescribe based on body weight. Also Zoe was 3 lbs at 12 weeks, 4 lbs at 16 weeks. Not sure of her weight now but she gained a pound a month and vet said that she wasn't overweight. She's probably at least 5 lbs now because she's 20 weeks. So it sounds to me like 3.3 lbs at 12 weeks is normal.
