My 5 week old pup is constipated. Any suggestions? TIA

How are the other pups in the litter? Is there plenty of water available at all times? What is he eating?

Add 1 cup pumpkin - works for diarrhea and constipation because it has fiber. Can give up to 2 cups/day if needed. Probably just adjustion to food? Has pup been on solids for awhile?

Puppy is the only one, others fine. They have been on pro plan ground up puppy food with water for 7 days, and mommies milk. They have access to water.

Put vaseline on a thermometer, and gently spin inside. It usually stimulates the bowels.

If you decide to use pumpkin, do not use 'pumpkin PIE' type of pumpkin. I find the other kind in the canned vegetable aisle at the grocery store. Good luck! Poor baby needs to go

use ONE TABLESPOON of pumpkin every hour till the
puppy's issues are resolved. Pumpkin relieves the
digestive tract, either of loose stools or tight
stools. Use only pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix.

Only ONE tablespoon each hour!

each hour??? never heard of using pumpkin that often only 2 x's a day

Thank you all, puppy is up and running. Couldn't find pumpkin, used baby food prunes. Half teaspoon 2 times in one day.
