Question
my puppy called ziggy is a boy and smaller than the other two puppy boys who are all 9 weeks old is this usual or should i take him to the vets????

Answer
yes its quite normal, pups come in varying sizes even from a litter, we have the very same issue with a litter of havanese , the two bigger ones just eat more at this stage.
it will all level out shortly.

If all his activities are normal and he is developing the same as the two bigger boys then you have nothing to worry about.
If you are still concerned start by feeding them all separately.

Then log into our site

www.eurobichons.com

take a look at the two litters recently born to see that its all quite normal.

Whatever you do DONOT pick him up more than the other two, I know the temptation is there but try not too as this will only encourage sibling rivalry!
