Proper Weight Gain In Newborn Yorkie I was wondering what the guidline was for proper weightgain in a newborn yorkie. I have a day old yorkie that weighed 3.5 oz at birth and today weighs 4 oz.!! |
she/he will pack on more weight than if they had litter mates...the gain will be more since she is the only on at the teats...it will begin to taper as you wean at about 6-7 weeks... |

It sounds like you said the puppy had drained the milk and needed to change teats to get what it wanted. I have a girl that had 2 pups but we lost one. The puppy only liked the bottom teats at moms belly so the others pretty much dried up. A little milk would come from them but they wouldn't fill up like the 2 the puppy nursed from. Good luck with your new baby!! |

Yes, it is supply and demand just like humans. The main thing you would have to watch out for as the other teats dry up is mastitis... just like humans. Puppies grow at different rates. Sounds like your's is doing well! |
