Question
Hi there, my little girl recently had her litter of pups 2 weeks ago and all puppies weight about the same give or take a half an ounce (approx. 6 ounces) but there is one huge one (11.5 ounces)  Why is one soooooo much bigger than the rest and should they all mature to be around the same weight as their parents or is this big boy gonna keep getting bigger and bigger?  I am the owner of both the mom and day and I know they come from small lines...3.5-4 lbs as adults.  I have never seen this in a litter....all are usually about the same wieght.

Answer
how very odd lol!!!
Maybe he is just a big boy and had a good life in your mammas womb lol - hogging all the food.
I would defo contact your vets explain the situation and ask them if its common to them to hear complaints of this problem,
its better to be safe than sorry and they may be able to give u an immediate precise answer as to why this is.
Good luck with your pups lol sounds like your going to be busy.
I really want another now!! lol
please let me know how you get on as id really like to know why this is lol?
