My pups are now 11 days old, and doing very well except for one. There is a small male (he was 2.5oz at birth) he is not gaining any weight for the last 3 days. He has not lost any weight, and he does nurse, I am making sure of that. He moves and wiggles, he is just really small. He weighs 5 oz right now, is it normal for them to just maintain their weight for a few days? I have tried to bottle feed him, but he really isn't interested. Any ideas?
