I’ve been posting here a bit recently about an accidental dog pregnancy and thankfully with some help it’s all been going well and I’m now dealing with 4 puppies lol
They’re only about 5 days old (born Monday afternoon) and either way they’re all going to the vet tomorrow but I just want to put my mind at ease, is it normal for one to not be growing much? The other 3 have all noticeably grown and the little fat one is literally twice the size of the one I’m worried about. He definitely does struggle to latch on unlike the other 3 but clearly it’s not like he’s NOT eating at all since he hasn’t starved to death and every hour and a half I try to get him to get some formula down but idk I’m just worried about the size difference since all the others have grown. Has anyone else experienced something like this and if so did everything turn out ok? I’m not even close to a dog expert so I’m not sure if maybe he’s just the runt and it’s a normal difference in size or if I should be worried so is super appreciate any advice. Thanks!
