Hi Guys,
I rescued a 4 week old pup 2 - 3 weeks ago, we named him Butchie (you may remember me from the welcome forum). When I first took him, he weighed in at 1.5 lbs. After bottle feeding for a few weeks, and now starting him on a good quality puppy food 3 times a day, he weighs 8lbs at 6-7 weeks, does that sound ok?? To look at him, you'd say he was a fatso, I'm just worried about underfeeding, but I don't want him to be fat either :roll: I was just wondering if any of you can tell me how much any of your pups weighed at this age.
He is doing great here with us, and has developed a LOVE for walking with his harness and leash on
We also finally found out what his parents are....mom is a purebred boxer (with papers and everything!! how this happened is a puzzle to me) and dad is a boxer/lab mix.
Thanks in advance...
