| I take it that she is a singleton. That can be a problem ith singletons. You might have to start to limit the amount of time that mom is allowed in with her. They can get so fat that they can't get their legs under them. It is called swimmer puppy syndrome. you will also need to provide some exercise time for her. Take her out of the bed and give her some rolled up towels to climb over. Do this for short periods of time. No more than 5 minutes, several times a day. |

Here is some good information for you. Feel free to PM me if you want to. I had a puppy like that, but luckily I had another litter the same age, so I started putting the singleton in with the other litter periodically throughout the day, and it worked wonders. | |

| I have a litter here at my home that will be 3 weeks tomorrow as well...all have reached a pound or more....and their parents are small (5 pound range) so, I think your baby is right on schedule. Once they start running aound, they will "even" out!
