I took her right to my vet and at 10 weeks (my vet said that she looked pretty close to that, in her opinion) she weighed 3.10. On Wedensday she weighed exactly 6 lbs. So, I guess at 14 1/2 weeks she's a pretty big girl from what I'm reading. Still feels very tiny to me  |
Oh wow, that's a big jump for almost 5 weeks! The person who had her must not have been feeding her well at all! It's a good thing you have her, because you're obviously taking very good care of her. Out of curiousity, how much are you feeding her? I think I may be underfeeding my boy just a bit. Either that or his weight is just leveling off early.
Louie was 3.3 lbs at 14 weeks and, now, at 23 weeks, he's 5.1 lbs. I don't know how exactly big he'll get, but I'm confident that he won't pass 6.5 lbs. His dad was 5.5 lbs and his mom was 6 lbs. If I'm going by the "double the weight at 12 weeks" thing, he should be between 5.2 and 5.5 lbs. As I said, his weight
does seem to be leveling off. But he's only 23 weeks old. It's weird.
