Worried about the size Diff ?? 2 Attachment(s) Daisy's pup's are 12 days old Today 1 boy 1 girl. The girl weighs 13 oz's and the boy is half Her size weighing 8 oz's. I mean the girl is soooo much bigger then the boy it is amazing.She looks like a big polar bear and He is really tiny compared too Her.At birth He was the bigger one that Daisy had a hard time delivering.Here is some pic's but they don't really give them credit because they look about the same in the pic's.Any info about this will be appreciated.Should I be worried :( Attachment 88667 Attachment 88668 |
I would definitely keep an eye on him. As long as he is consistantly growing I wouldn't worry too much though. Make sure that he is getting equal feeding time. Just like human babies they have their own growth schedules. My smallest from my last litter ended up being my largest by far. :D |

I've had two pups born around the same size and one end up smaller... not half the size... but smaller. Just keep an eye on him... I am sure he is fine... :) |
AS long as he is still gaining, I'm sure he is okay.. But like everyone else said, just keep an eye on him!! They are adorable.:D |
Tara had 5 pups this past fall and all were about the same size at birth, but by 2 weeks old one was HUGE, and she's turned out to be easily twice the size of t he others now that they're 5 months old. If you don't have one already, run out to Target and get a scale (a meat scale with a nice sized, flat measuring bowl is what I use, only about 15 bucks). Just weigh the pups daily to make sure they aren't losing weight. If the pup is losing, or looks smaller than it did earlier you need to take him to the vet asap. He's probably having some type of problem with feeding. If he's making gains, I wouldn't be worried. Our little Leia was super teeny all through her "infancy" but she gained little by little and is a happy, healthy pup. Good luck, hope all goes well! :thumbup: |
