Puppy growth.....
Mine are 10 full days as of 2300 hrs tonight.
My records would seem to indicate that a puppy 6 ounces and under will normally double its weight in 7 days.
Those of 7 ounces or more may double in 7 days but normally before 10 days.
All healthy pups of mine, 6 fold minimum,their birth weight, by 4 weeks.
They reach 48 ounces between 32 and 47 days.
Touch wood, I have never had a puppy lose weight, but there again, I always give extra for the first 4 days.
It works for me so I stick to it. Some might be horrified ?
Regards Mark.
