Help Dumb Question????? peeka has gained 9 ozs in 1 week 5 days is this normal? he was 1.7 lb on fri june 23 then he was 1.3 lbs when i got him on june 26 now he is 1.12 lbs today?boo hasn't gained any he is still 1.8lbs? |
anyone???????????????????????????????????:confused : :confused: :confused: |
Sounds normal to me. They grow like a weed and then will stop for a little while and then start another growth spurt. |
I would be more concerned that Boo hasn't gained any weight than Peeka putting on a few ounces. Beauty did the exact same thing. But she gained 4 oz in like 3 days but she hasn't gained much since that first week I got her. She is 13 weeks and weighs 1 lb 13 oz I am so hoping she will go through a growth spurt soon because I was hoping she would get up to like 5 or 6 lbs at maturity! |
Looks to me if I read this right that Peeka has lost weight (.58 lbs), not gained it. I would be more concerned about that than Boo not having gained any weight. |

when the breeder had them peeka lost weight but when i got him he has gained a bit i guess it's good to know he is eating i just worry thats a lot to gain in a little time and boo has stayed th same but he does eat a lot like peeka it's weird? |
She said Peeka has gained 9 oz, but the math is wrong unless she got her dates and weights mixed up. The difference betwen the high and low weights is still .58 lbs. (9.4 oz). Quote:
Then he was 1.3 lbs when i got him on june 26 (this is a loss of .4 lbs.) Now he is 1.12 lbs today? (This is a loss of another .18 lbs) 1.7 lbs. on 6/23 and 1.12 lbs. on 7/7 is a loss of .58 lbs/9.4 oz. Unless I am reading this backwards? |

i hope i explained this right :confused: |
If the puppies are eating like little pigletts, are pooping and peeing machines and are playing like madmen, then I wouldn't worry. I am obsessed with weight. I weigh my puppies several times a day.... just cause. I have found that through out the day they will gain a 1/2 ounce and lose an ounce and gain it back, depending upon how long it has been since they ate, pooped, drank water, etc. The big key factor here is are they eating, drinking peeing, pooping, playing and sleeping? If they are doing those things, then they are probably ok. If you have serious questions or concerns, it might be time for a check up with your vet. |
Have you had them wormed or checked for worms recently? Julie |

You would be able to see worms in the poo |
I don't see any lol my husband thinks i'm gross cause i inspect the poop but i tell him it's better than getting worms and not knowing isn't it |
Well, it's worth having checked out. Pups need to be dewormed a few times, I think. Mine were given dewormer at least three times when they were little and I hadn't seen any worms until the last time. It wasn't in Lily's stool (lol, I checked, too) but I saw one little worm clinging to her back end. They will lose weight or bloat if they have worms. Julie |

Shylah was around 1.9 lbs when I got her and then she went to 1.7lbs, but she got a tummy ache from a bully stick and then was a real picky eater. We've decided she is allergic to Royal Canine food. She will eat Nutro Natural now and we have found she is a social eater and has to eat with the rest of the dogs so she is eating, pooping and peeing all normal. She sleeps a lot too. She plays hard in the morning and in the evening and sleeps almost all day. She has only gained a tiny bit in a week. She is 1.7.6 now but feeling good. You really worry when they are so small. |
well they are back to notwanting to eat i've tryed all sorts of stuff they really liked the royal canine for 2 days they don't like yogert wont eat nutra cal don't like iams not intrestes in ceaser don't like science diet they will eat cherios but are bored with them now! vet told me not to give cottage cheese it's more of a protein and they need carbs i'm at a loss i dunno what to do they are drinking ok a pooping and peeing i don't know if it's the heat and they don't want to eat or what i'm freaked out!! They seem ok just a little mopy is all?:confused: :confused: :confused: |
