In the first days after birth is common to see weight loss in pups that shouldn’t exceed 10% of weight at birth. The main causes of weight loss are urine and meconium issued followed by non-recovery of fluids expelled. In our study within 3-5 days the puppies retrieved birth weight and got back a weight gain that led to double in two weeks. We observed a mean weight loss of 2.27% in the first two days of life and they start recovery the birth weight on the fourth day (mean values).The puppies that regained birth weight earlier were those that showed a greater weight gain. The puppies with higher birth weight had lower weight losses.

Abstract

In the first days after birth is common to see weight loss in pups that shouldn’t exceed 10% of weight at birth. The main causes of weight loss are urine and meconium issued followed by non-recovery of fluids expelled. In our study within 3-5 days the puppies retrieved birth weight and got back a weight gain that led to double in two weeks. We observed a mean weight loss of 2.27% in the first two days of life and they start recovery the birth weight on the fourth day (mean values).The puppies that regained birth weight earlier were those that showed a greater weight gain. The puppies with higher birth weight had lower weight losses.
