pin worms, whip worms, maybe? could be he's gonna just be smaller dog or he'll hit a growth spurt later.
it don't take a 75 pd dog to tree a coon though. good hunt'n.

May just going to be a small dog.I like to weigh my dogs.Especially for their wormings.I had a 3 1/2 month old once that weighed 11 lb.Ended up being 52 lb adult weight.

Are you feeding him a good puppy food and enough rations of it.Will surely stunt growth if not.

Tapeworms

I would use a good tapewormer, most states you can only get tape worm wormers direcrtly from the vet. Your other wormers will not kill tapes and tapeworms can definately stunt growth.

SAFEGUARD WILL GET FLEA TAPE WORMS AND THE OTHER WORMER WILL GET THEM ALL, PANQUINTEL(MAY BE SPELLED WRONG) WILL GET TAPEWORMS. TSC HAS IT.

I don't think under feeding will stunt growth. Dogs are genetically programmed to reach a certain size and if they stay alive, they'll get there eventually. They can be delayed. I expect your hound will have a growing spurt starting about now.

You are correct .I used the word stunt but it really just slows their growth.They will eventually reach their genetically programed height/weight.The only thing that will really stunt growth is a disease or serious illness.

OT ...I had a kitten one time...it had got distemper.It recovered and was only 1/2 the size of an adult cat when it was done growing.I called her mighty mouse.

pup

He gets purina puppy chow...he looks good and healthy..just small...maybe he will hit a spurt soon...

Born in the summer .Hot weather on a pup will slow their growth.Keep pup wormed and fed a good quality feed and pup should grow off like expected
