Should my puppy be gaining more weight?
« on: May 04, 2010, 10:30:14 AM »
Hi, I weight Kiki yesterday and she was 1.01kg week ago, now she is 1.04kg. Shouldn`t she gain more than that in a week? She eats good, and drinks good, she is active, happy... I am just worried that this is way to little to gain in a week. Should I be worried??? I am a nurse and work with babies, they sure can gain lots in a week, that is my best comparison....

Don't worry as long as she is eating,drinking and showing no ill signs or pain.  Jemma was a very slow grower.  She was just 2 pounds for the longest time.  She was 4 pounds when she was nine months old.  She was spayed and almost gained 2 pounds.  So at 17 months she is just shy of 6 pounds.  She is now done growing.
Be kinder than necessary for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle

Thanks! I was getting worried that I may be doing something wrong. I guess as long as she is happy and active, eating & drinking well she will be fine.

My Minnie Mee gains about 3 0z a month, and she's very healthy... don't worry.
