Newbie, be gentle (2/9)

  1. Quick update: It’s for sure now, that he’ll be on the smaller side of greyhounds. At 8,5 months he’s around 17,7 kg and 55 cm of height. As I mentioned earlier, he behaves and eats as normally, he’s just a bit tiny. This is him currently, the dog bed he’s laying on has measurements of 120x80 cm.
  2. Yes he is a greyhound puppy, I forgot to mention that, also he is not my first greyhound I had one for 12 years, but he passed away this summer. I'm familiar with the breed, but I felt like reaching out, because I never seen something like this. My first thought would be he is a whippet or whippet/greyhound mix, but we've seen the parents, so this is out of the question. We feed him a mix of 50% kebble and 50% wet both are made for puppies, and are from the brand Nulo. Unfortunately I do not have any pictures of the parents but here is a picture of him taken yesterday as he turned 5 months old, his height is 47 cm.
  3. Hi everyone! So here is the story, I adopted a 3 months old puppy back in October. He was gaining mass and was growing at a desirable rate, until he stopped when he was around 4 months old. He is happy and eats well, we fed him with AAA grade dog-food, however his growth seems to be stunted. We had him dewormed multiple times, so I do not think this is the issue. The only thing that comes to my mind, is that he is maybe suffering from dwarfism, or any other genetic condition. We've seen the parents, and the mother is medium sized, but the father is more on the bigger side. The vet told us he is healthy, and could see no signs of any other issues, besides his size. He was around 5.2 kg at 3 months. At 3.5 months old he was 6.9 kg. At 4 months he was 9 kg. Now he is 5 months old and only 10.5 kg. Any advice would be welcome. TLDR: Well fed puppy won't grow, and he has no worms or diseases.
