3 week old growth spurt? The puppy I am getting only weighed 7 ounces at 2 weeks, now at 3 weeks she weights 16 oz. Have you ever heard of this big a growth spurt? She still looks very small, looking at the yorkie growth chart I can't estimate what she will weight. her sister from the mom's last litter only weight 2.5 full grown. Both mom and dad are small around 4 lbs. :) |
Holy Cow!!! She really got her vitamins. I am not a breeder and have no experience with this. To me, that sounds like alot to gain in a week but I could be wrong. Any chance either one of those weeks that she was weighed incorrectly? |
I would question the 16 oz weight. Although she have had her growth spurt and she will slow way down now. I don't know. That's a wierd one! |
Wow that seems like a huge growth spurt. I am not sure about the small breed dogs but I know with the large breeds that a huge growth spurt like that isn't the best for them. Not trying to panic you just saying what I have heard. |
It seems so odd to me too, she looks real small she fits in ine of my hands, I wonder if she is 10 oz. and they thought it said 1 pound. do you think she will slow down now? |
How many pups in the litter ? My friend Lisa have a Shih Tzu's litter of 1 and another have 4 pups . The puppy in the first litter is growing faster the the other . Both litters have the same sire . |
Growth Spurt My puppy Kodi went from 2 lbs to 3 lbs in just 2 weeks. I asked the vet if he was gaining too much weight and the vet said he was fine. |
There is 4 puppies in the litter and she is the second to the smallest. Maybe this was her growth spurt and will taper off, I just couldn't believe it. Has anyone seen this happen in this young a puppy? The growth chart looks way off with her. |
2 Attachment(s) Actually , I have two litters of pups . Just too look at the way they are feeding themselves , I could swear the girls will all end up as 10 pounders . Until now , the higher weight as an adult was 6 pounds . They really change from a day to 4 weeks old . |
I went to the vet today to get his shots and on may 1st, cosmo weighed 1 1/2 lbs now he weighs 2 lbs 1 oz. |
weight... Don't be concerned by her weight right now..she isn't even near weaning. Her parents are small and other sibs have been small...even if she got to 4 or 5 pounds she is still small, but mothers milk adds weight fast..weaning changes things and she will only be what she is genetically programmed to be anyway. |
Thanks so much Yorkie Rose and everyone, you have made me feel better, I thought she might be a whopper! I am so happy with how pretty she is and what her parents look like. When I figure out how to post her picture I will, her breeder sends me new ones every week. :) |
Thanks Oliver, your pup's are so cute! :) |
