Tasha4528 Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 We have a rescue 6 week old husky puppy, her mother had ran away and the owners had abandoned her, we got her last Friday and she’s put on 700g since we got her she’s gone from 1.6kilos to 2.3kilos. We got her when she was 5 weeks and now she’s 6 so is 2.3 kilos a healthy weight for a 6 week old little girl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Well done on rescuing the poor little pup, not the best start to life. Most people don't get their pups until they are at least 8 - 10 weeks, and as we are a site that supports rehoming rescue dogs rather than purchasing a pup from a breeder not many of us will have experience in pups that young. However I'm sure someone will be able to give you a ballpark figure. More importantly your pup will be missing the training and socialisation that normally occurs between a pup and it's siblings and mother. You will need to watch for bad behaviours developing and nipping them in the bud, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfpup Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 I mentioned biting on your other post. Had the same problem with one of mine who was taken from mum & siblings too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
