?? on Puppy weight.

[babysunbird]

Hey everyone.. I finally got the scale and weighed the pups last night. So, here are the weights in ounces:
(They were 3 days old)

8 5/8

9

9 5/8

9 7/8

12 1/4 (this is the only boy and he is noticeably larger than the girls.. he was the largest of the whole litter)

Can anyone give me some idea about what their weight should be???

They are within the normal range. Weights vary by bloodline. It is more important to check them daily and make sure you're seeing an increase.

Well, there has been a slight increase already since last night.. so, I take that as a good thing. Of course I'll need to get on the schedule of checking them at the same time each day.. but, I just wanted to check early. And so far they have all gained between 3/4 to 1 oz except for one.. she has only gained 1/4 oz. I'll just keep a closer eye on her and make sure she gets to nurse more. None of them are taking the bottle anymore... They did it that first day but, now I think they are getting too much from it. I'll post more about it in the bottle feeding thread.
