piper Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Our litter of puppies are currently 7 weeks old and are between 3 and 3.5kgs. They are an ideal weight, ribs are easily felt but not spine, visible tucked in waist even with the fluff. Puppies should not be carrying any weight at all, they have growing joints and there is no point stressing those joints by making them carry extra weight. If she isn't eating lunch but happy to eat other times my feeling would be that she just isn't hungry then. What is she eating for the other meals? If it is the same for every meal then I would assume she just doesn't want lunch. Agree with this. My question was going to be do you think she feels underweight or does she feel like a lean, healthy puppy as opposed to a "rolly polly" puppy. Many vet consider fit, lean dogs to be underweight. I would say with 2 meals and lots of treats that she is just not hungry so drop that meal and either add in some more incidental training or increase her morning and evening meals a little.
