So, my boy is 2.5 pounds today at six and a half months. He came from normal size parents, he eats well, and is about right for his frame, not skinny or fat. He is just so tiny!
I would love to see him gain 2 or 3 pounds but realistically, can I expect more than about a 25% increase in size at this age? This is what the vet tells me is the most I should expect is around 3.5 pounds when completely filled out. She says that most maltese are pretty much at their adult weight by 8 - 9 months. I would love to see him get to 4 or 5 pounds but I am thinking it is unlikely?
