The vet told me not to worry too much about his weight. He told me that he could stand to gain 3 or 4 pounds but that dachshund's tend to put on weight after to getting fixed and that I shouldn't be concerned about it. He is build is pretty slight, and although he's on the thin side, he's not terribly underweight.

But I'll of course monitor him carefully.
