Physiological Weight Loss in Newborn Puppies of Boxer Breed
Open accessAbstract
In the first days after birth is common to observe weight loss in puppies that should not exceed 10% of body weight at birth. The main causes of weight loss are urine and meconium issued followed by non-recovery of fluids expelled. The present study aimed to check and outline growth curves in boxer breed during the first two week of life. In our study, between the 3th and 5th day after birth, puppies have retrieved the weight and doubled their live weight in two weeks. We observed a mean weight loss of 11.26±2.3 g (2.27%) between the first two days of life. Subsequently they recovered the birth weight at day four and puppies with higher weight at birth regained earlier the birth condition and they still were the heaviest at day 13.

“[26] proposed that the weight loss should in no case exceed 10%, and Münnich [29] advised supplemental feeding if the weight loss in the first 24 h of life is more than 10% of their birthweight.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
