Initially my puppies gain alot of weight. Usually almost doubling it in the first week.......... equaling about 1/2 oz a day. If they are born at 4 ozs, they are usally at 7 1/2 oz to 8 ozs the first full week weight.
SOme puppies keep it up too. They gain alot of weight 2-4 ozs every week until week 5-6. Then you may see some tampering off. But I do have a few puppies who just keep gaining at the same rate.......and they are usually bigger at 8-10 lbs.
That is just my experience with my own dogs. |
