Feeding them less will cause complications and can lead to losing a pup. Sure, some people want tinier pups but I'd much rather have a pup that is larger and healthy than a pup that is tiny and sickly. Don't hold nothing back when feeding them. Their little bodies need it. |
I think the pups should gain a few tenths of an ounce per day... if they gained an ounce a day they would be
huge by 8-12 weeks old.
I agree with weighing them every day... any significant losing of weight is a
red flag...time to see the vet.
They will lose some of their puppy fat once weaned from mom... I think your momma is doing a great job.
Best of luck.
