Puppy weight gain

19 15:48:13

Question
Hi there, my female boxer, just had a litter of 10 lovely pups. I know the answer to my question may vary but, I am wondering what a good daily weight gain should be with puppies. They are all gaining weight nicely, puppies and mom are healthy. Any advice would be great :)

Answer
Newborn Boxer puppies generally weigh one pound at birth.

The first few days and week they loose a few ounces, but start to gain again in a few weeks.

Here are some helpful links.
