she is much smaller than the rest..is 13oz normal for a 3 weeker? the rest of them are at 1lb and a oz or 2

im glad i took her into because if i waited i wo9uld be worried sick or paying more to taker to the er or worse she might have passed away i dont want that!!

Miracle was 16 oz at 6 weeks....she is now 13 weeks weighing 2lbs 6 oz....I would worry more about her dehydrating and making sure she gets over the congestion, if not treated it could have lead to phenomia.

haer her do this 4-5 times a day - specially just befor you go to bed at night, first thing in the morning and nonn and afternoon....do you know how to check for a full belly??

[tammy8833]

just feel her belly for fullness???

let her eat alone 4 or times a day, right? would it be better to purchase the milk replacer and feed her myself

Her belly has to be tight and plump, and also you can usually tell by opening her mouth and placing her on one of her mom's nipples...if she sort of spits it back out she's probably full. You usually want to supplement the bigger pups, not the smaller ones, because they're the ones who need moms milk the most.
