Is she still eating the same food that she ate before you got her? With her not gaining the first week that you had her then there will be a bigger weight gain to catch up what she did not get.

I have 13 week old puppies and they are free fed and the most they are gaining a week has been 6 oz. Right now they have dropped some and are gaining about 3-5 oz.

Like I said, if she was limited food (which some shady breeders do to keep the dogs small) then she could just be making up for what she needs to be where she is supposed to be. I have a boy Maltese that gained a lot of weight when I first got him because the breeder was only feeding him small meals twice a day to keep him smaller. Did not know that till I got him and he blew up in weight.

Hopefully someone else may have something helpful to add. Have you contacted your vet yet to see what they say???
