Size and rapid growth????

[rtsmichele]

I got Abbi on Feb 20 at about 18 weeks. She was 1.2 pounds. March 11 I took her to fthe vet and she was 1.4 pounds. Took her to the vet's today, just to check her weight as she seems to have had a growth spurt and darned if she doesn't weight 2.3 pounds. Does that sound normal? She is about 26 weeks old. She'll be 6 months old on April 20.

I'm no expert but that seems pretty normal to me. Tucker was 3.2 pounds when we got him at 17 weeks and he has grown to be about 7.5 pounds at 2 years old.

You can check out this post for some growth charts to get a better idea of how puppy's grow and to estimate about how big Abbi will be.

I noticed a big growth spurt w/Apple, between 4 and 5 months...She was gaining about oz. or so a week from 3-4 months, then at her 5 month check up, she'd gained 10 oz.! She weighed 3 1/2 lbs. @ 5 months, and only 2 lb. 14 oz. @ 4...I'm so glad, because I didn't think she would make 5 lbs, and I wanted her too, so much, since they seem to have less health problems at that weight....

she sounds like she'll still be quite small. so long as she's healthy, thats all that matters. my oldest, was 3 lbs at 3 months, then at 4 months he jumped to 6 lbs! he's now almost a year and weighs 12 lbs. he's a big ol teddy bear!
