Cooper went to the vet today and only gained a half an ounce. He hadnt been in two weeks. I was used to him gaining 1-2 ounces per week. He is 19 weeks. How much should he be gaining a week, is gaining that little in that amount of time at that age normal?

I'll ask the vet, hopefully its normal.

it may also be the vet's scale is off. I questioned Tico going from 3.7 to 4.8 in one week and they said their scale is not very accurate.

They use there baby scale for Cooper because he is so small. I called and they said their scale is accurate. They said Coopers weight has been slowing down and it will continue to slow down just because he's getting older.
