How does my 11 week old look?

tuffloud1 · 07-07-2011, 02:26 AM

Sarge is 11 weeks old. He was 16.1 pounds when I took him to the vet 2 weeks ago.

Does he look overweight?

He doesn't looked overweight, but it does look like he has a bit of a puffy stomach. It's kind of hard to have an overweight dog at 11 weeks though.

He's had his fecal exams done and everything, right? Everything came back normal?

he looks like a normal chubby puppy to me. All fecals done and been dewormed?

Looks like puppy belly to me, as long as his vet check came back good I would not worry. What a cutie pie!

Agreed. Could be because he just emptied that huge bowl.

You have great flooring! Oh, and the dog is darned cute too.

I like the flooring too!! He looks like a roly poly puppy.

Glock was roly poly too. I figure when they are that young there's nothing wrong with it! It is amazing the difference between before they eat and right after they eat. He's adorable.

Completely not on topic, but we have the same floor, and I am just wondering how you're finding cleaning the hardwood and how obvious the shedding is.

Well the Brazillian Hickory laminate is in our bedroom, so he is usually laying in there next to my desk while I'm on my computer, not all the time. Dust bunnies usually just collect in the corners and under our bed, that's what is nice about hardwood/laminate.

I use a vacuum with the brush turned off and then go over it with a swiffer.

The swiffer does sometimes leave a haze when you look at the floor from an angle and the sun is shining in the room. The piano finish is hard to avoid all haze.

He's been dewormed and when I took him to the vet at 9 weeks, he had the same little belly, she didn't mention anything about it.

No fecal done, I thought at the first checkup, the vet would have recommended it if it needed to be done.
