Weight Gain

Hey everyone! I was wondering if you could share your experience with initial weight gain for your puppies. I can't find a weight chart anywhere online.

Also, Linnie's nipples are very red and she acts like they are sore. She hasn't been as eager to feed the puppies recently, and when she does, she appears uncomfortable. She doesn't want to leave them, and is constantly cleaning them and letting them sleep around here.

I'll be calling the Vet in the morning to get her advice, but thought I would run it by you guys too!

Thanks for any advice!

Tom

Tom here's one that's been posted before

Call the vet...and maybe like a human mom sometimes a child isn't nursing correctly, or nurses to vigorously and/or too much then they nipples can get sore, bleed etc.
Please LET me know what you're vet says.

I'll ask my breeder is she knows the growth rate in the first few weeks as I am weighing them for her now. But now they're going on 6 weeks old.
