My Chihuahua had fur puppies. There is two medium sized ones. There one that is about an inch bigger, and one that is really small about 2 inches smaller than the biggest one. They are about 3 weeks old. Is this normal? The bigger puppy eats soft dog food already, runs,.and plays, and the other ones don't do that yet. The smallest one is still very clumsy. Is this normal in puppies?

Yes,and it happens with kittens and even human babies.They all develop at their own rate,according to size and strength.You have "the big one" and "the runt,"and it is very normal for three -week -old puppies to be clumsy!

It is normal. The smallest one is called the runt of the litter. The runts are always my pick of choice!!! Congratulation on the new family.

Yup! All pups from the same litter do not all develop at the same rate or time. Each one is different.
