If the vet thinks his weight is normal for his age, I would say all is well.
If he is bony, then he needs to gain...if his skin does nto pop back in place fast, it means he is dehydrated..otherwise if he is healthy, eats, plays etc...he is fine.
My Doxie pups used to have enough extra skin for another puppy at that age...
