Average weight for 3 month old male bully?

[KishiD]

Hi all,

I'm worried Rocky is looking too skinny. I don't live near any other EB's to compare him to so was just wondering what your pups weighed at 3 months. Rocky is currently 7.9kg (17.4lb) and I feed him 1 cup of food 3 times a day.

Thanks

my bully is the same! shes a female though. but at 15 weeks she was 20 lbs, and then added a pound every week. she is healthy and looking healthy. her front is REALLY stocky and the back is very very tiny which made me nervous thinking she was underwight but she is actually a great weight. shes now 27 lbs at 5 months.

It's hard to go by weight as every bully is different. The weight sounds about right, but the best way to tell is, you should not easily feel their ribs, but should be able to feel them with some moderate pressure when you rub your hands along his side. It sounds like you are feeding him enough, but that also depends on the food. If it's not a high quality food, then you may have to feed more.You can also go by the poop method to determine the food amount. If you are feeding too much their poop will be too soft. If you are not feeding enough their poop will be hard. So you want a happy medium.

Thank you both! I can actually see Rockys ribs sometimes which is a little worrying. [MENTION=2071]Davidh[/MENTION] the info re poop is really interesting (lol) and super helpful thank you!! He's definitely the happy medium but I think I might take hi yo the vet for a little look as he had worms but when I gave him the meds only one came out in his poop so I'm wondering if he still has them hence lack of weight?
