It sounds like Rocky is growing well. Every puppy grows at different rates so it is hard to tell just by a number on a scale. You shouldn't be able to see his ribs but should be able to feel them when you pet him. He should also have an hourglass waist. With the diarrhea I would be concerned for intestinal parasites which would also cause him not to grow properly. Talk to your vet about deworming and follow the bag of puppy food for how much to feed daily. Good luck and kisses to Rocky!
