Gained 6 lbs in 2 weeks??

My new puppy, Sophie the 2 oz runt, was 5 1/2 lbs when we brought her home 11 days ago. Last night she weighed 11 POUNDS! I am still worried though because even though she had doubled her weight, her little ribs are just so obvious... I feed her 3 to 4 meals a day (some days she just picks)

Hi guys.

Sorry to ask a silly question but how much is two cups a day?
In grams or ounces, if you had to weigh it how much would you feed your eleven week old puppy?

Frankie eats like a horse and her ribs are still showing like mad. Next week we can go out into the big wide world and I just know someone will coment on her weight or the lack of it. I know boxer pups are not supposed to be fat and chunky but she is very thin.

I feed her the correct amount of what the packet recomends!

A cup I think is roughly 100g, correct me if I'm wrong here though?

8 oz in a cup

Murphy was 11 lbs at his 7 week visit, and 2 weeks later he's 16. He's a golden retriever mind you, but he's growing like a weed. I think it's pretty normal for pups to put on weight pretty fast when they're young. I'm guessing boxers are similar.
