| weight gain I took my little boy "Winston" to the vet for his last round of shots yesterday. 3 weeks ago he weighed 3 lbs 1 oz. In three weeks he gained up to 3 lbs 14 oz. Is that too much weight gain in that length of time. He is 3 1/2 months old. The vet says he is very healthy. Just worried that I might be feeding him too much. He eats a little less than 1/2 cup of Science diet dry food per day. He gets treats during the day for training purposes only. He is doing great. His dad is 4 1/2 lbs and his mom is 7 lbs. |

| Ah! Puppies can sometimes carry a little baby weight. Mine did. I'd just be sure he gets lots of exercise, including walks. You can keep a watch on his weight by weighing yourself holding him and then weighing yourself without him. You can keep a journal, so you know how much weight he is gaining over time. Just don't overdo it on the treats. He will be fine. They gain weight in spurts. Sometimes a bunch at one time and then other times they don't gain for a while.
