September 12, 2009: Out of an abundance of caution, Bó and Brí will be weighed once a week. Irish Wolfhounds grow quickly. Between the ages of three to six months, it's not uncommon for them to gain three to five pounds a week (that's 1.5 to 2.5 kg or thereabouts). Weekly weighing is good way to keep tabs on their progress. Puppies are susceptible to infestation with worms–particularly roundworms. These are transmitted from the mother while the puppies feed. Any slowdown in weight gain from week-to-week could mean that the puppies have worms. Consistent sluggish weight gain should alert the owner to concerns about the health of the puppy. The puppies are now sixteen weeks old. The puppies were weighed today. Rose City Veterinary Hospital is very accommodating to patients. The technicians are pretty meticulous about recording the weights in the file for each dog. Wolfhounds learn quickly, but it is going to take a few weeks before they accept the fact that they're going to have to sit still on the scales for fifteen seconds. Louie and Lír were funny: after a few visits to the vet, they automatically trundled over to the corner and plunked themselves on the scales. Today Bó weighed 49.2 pounds (22.4 kg) while Brí was at 48.8 (22.2 kg)–hardly any change since Wednesday when each weighed 48.7 pounds. It's not surprising that there's no real weight gain: they've had a traumatic week and are adjusting to their new home.
