|  Just got back from the vet... We just got back from the vet and Jack has doubled his weight in 3 weeks! He was 1 lb at 8 weeks and now at 11 weeks he is 2 lbs! The vet didn't seem to concerned but i did think he was looked a little rounder around his tummy area. Is this normal or am I overfeeding him? He eats about a half cup of food a day. I am not intentionally trying to keep him tiny or anything, I just want to make sure he is the right weight for his frame. Please let me know if anyone else has experience rapid weight gain like this. |

| Sounds fine to me, he's still really little. They do grow very fast at that age. |

| I believe from what I read that 1/2 cup is right on the nose. He might just be having a growth spurt.

| Great! I'm not worried about keeping him tiny, I just wanted to make sure he wasn't overweight for his frame, he's still about the same height and length as he was before, but he has a round little belly  . He was so funny at the vet, he kept trying to jump off of my lap and play with these 3 pit bulls! He is fearless. Thanks everyone for your quick responses |
