| My puppy sizes My little girl just had puppies on the 7th. She had 4 and this was her first time. This was the sizes... #1 girl 2.5 oz #2 boy 4.5 oz #3 girl 6 oz #4 boy 2 oz Is this common to be such a size difference?

| Mine are all within an ounce. The smallest I have ever had is 3 ounces (or just barely shy of that) at birth. Are the two ounce ones healthy and nursing? How big are Mom and Dad? |

| The tiny ones are eating great now. Also, mom is 4 lbs and dad is 5 lbs. I just thought it was odd to have the biggest one 3 times the size of the smallest one.

| There are definitely some extremes in the weight department. They'll probably even out by 12 weeks. I had 5 and all were between 5 & 6 oz., fat and happy. Now they all very in size by several pounds. You'll have to watch out for a floater with the big one.

| They're also known as water puppies, they have edema. They are bigger because they have fluid accumulation under the skin and in their body cavaty.
