Also, I purchased my new puppy from a different breeder but I noticed his bones are very fragile feeling and thin.. But he eats a lot he now weight 2lbs does this mean he was poorly bred?? |
To answer you other questions, the puppy's weight is just fine, but your puppy may be teething and ears will drop. Teething takes calcium away from the cartilage causing the ears to drop. Make sure you keep the top third of the ear front and back shaved and this help keeps the weight down. I used an eyebrow clipper when Joey was young.
Eyebrow Clipper Some people recommend massage or even supplements. There are also detailed instructions on taping the ear if you do a search. It's necessary to shave the whole ear if you tape it.
