I am sure he is healthy.. so unless he is way off the charts and is eatting I would not worry.
Saying that.. I felt the same about remy - she is skinny!! She did gain a couple of ounces the last month (she is now 1 year old) and is almost ..but not quite... 4 lbs. The vet said she is fine |
Ohh thats very true, at 12 weeks when I brought him home Oliver was only about 1.8 and the vet had to use a kitten scale just so he'd register his weight! Vet said he was very healthy, just tiny, so I guess he probably won't get too much bigger
Thanks!

My vet told me they continue to grow until they are 12 months, and up to 18 months they fill out a little. |
Oh thanks so much! Yes I read posts on here all the time about people upset they tried to buy a "teacup" and their yorkie is too big for them. I'd rather a healthy 10 pounder than a sick 3 pound! Luckily my little man is healthy so no worries
Thanks again for the insight!
