How much did your puppy weigh at check ups????

WendyDsMom · 11-29-2011, 12:02 PM

Wendy is 16 weeks old (yesterday) and we are going for our 2nd Vet check tonight... Now at 14 weeks she weighed in at 34 lbs - EVEN. I think she is skinny - having raised GSD's since I was a pup (Really - my first pup I was 3) I remember them all being huskier. I looked at the ever-so-adorable puppy picture thread and all those pups seem thicker than my little Wendy Darling.

She is tall, and a little lanky; her ears are erect most of the time (but the tips do tilt to the right when she is in evil "puppy power" mode); and I don't have any health concerns about her I just worry that she is too thin and too shy.

Wendy does have worms - she came from a farm and they raise poultry - many different kinds - so she was eating poop freely. The location of the farm is also in Deer/Bear/Fox country..... We did her 2nd dose of deworming meds, perhaps tonight will be dose 3. I think she had round worms, pin worms and hook worms... not really sure - will have to recheck the saved voice mail message.

But, how much did your dogs weigh at the vet checkups?

Kopper:
8 weeks - 10 lb
14.5 weeks 30lb
18 weeks- 40lb
6 1/2 months - 57lb
8 months-- 62lb. SOOO LANKY!
11 months- 71lb. And less lanky than he was at 8 months.

His "little" sister was 40lb at 17 weeks and 53lb at 19 weeks.

Rocket will be 24 weeks tomorrow and we weighed him yesterday..60.7 lbs. He is very lean-looking, everyone always asks me if he's too skinny.

I don't have access to his records at the moment but remember at 8 weeks he was 10 pounds...he's now 1.5 yrs old and around 67 pounds. I don't expect alot more weight gain but I'm sure he will fill out more.

Your puppy is the same age as mine (Fenrir turned 16 weeks on monday), I'll weigh her today on our home scales and let you know how heavy she is

Wendy weighed in at a whopping 38.4 lbs last night. She had more de-worming Meds and the vet said she is a good weight. She is just tall.

So we gained 4 lbs in 2 weeks. I hope this isn't the standard. If it is...

Angus was 23 lbs at 11 weeks and then 34 lbs at 14 weeks.

Just went to vet yesterday.... just shy of seven months Bailey is 53.4 lbs. He's a little lanky, but filling out nicely. I'm actually surprised he weighs so little.

Okay, so far for Fenrir (female GSD)-

8 Weeks- 7kgs (15.43lbs)
10 Weeks- 14" (no weigh in)
11 weeks- 9.2kgs (20.28lbs)
14 weeks-12.2kgs (26.89lbs)
16 weeks-14.2kgs (31.30lbs)

Bailey is 8 years old, in good shape and about 75 lbs. Wendy is almost as tall, but ever so skinny!

Good news, worms are gone!
