7 week puppy seems constipated??

[Bellamariasofia]

Hello Yorkie frenz,
All has been good in puppyland. Our Cupcake has been growing and getting lots of love. Started her on small meals of rice cereal, puppy food mixed with water or puppy milk this weekend. Making it watery like cream of wheat. I was giving her like twice a day last week with mama still letting her feed a few times a day. This weekend I did 3/4 small meals a day and mamma still feeds like at night and in the am. Well the baby woke up this morning and is constpated:/ she uasually goes in the morning but today she needs help??? Any suggestions? Thanks. She was born 4/28 so she is about 7 weeks.

Also I might add she is NOT in pain , she is playing now but I noticed when she went to her pad she was pushing for a minute off and on and nothn came out so she must have gave up and went to play?? She never pooped tho? so i will watch her today and give her more fluid?

This is a very interesting remedy as it works both ways... it also helps with loose stools...
