Yes, ignore him. Anyone who advises a diet for a two week old puppy is an idiot. Just make sure that the puppies are not swimmers and they will slow up on growth as they begin to walk. All the best, Susan Cochran

I was just told by my vet that my puppies are too fat and should be on a "diet". The puppies are two weeks old, each weight in at 11oz at birth and now hover around 2 pounds. All of my litters (a grand total of 6 before this one) have had large puppies (8-14oz) and I have always given the mother free access. I must admit that the non of the previous puppies have been this big this fast and these puppies are having trouble moving and even their breathing seem labored (thus my revisit to the vet). Of course the Mother is not happy not being with her babies (she is such a wonderful Mother!) and I worry that maybe she will loose interest in them. Any thought or opinions on this matter?
