10 day old puppy constipated! Help!!

[ebrake]

I have a 10 day old puppy I think he is constipated I try rubbing him to help it come out but it seems to be stuck he has a little sticking out and I rub him nothing? Im not sure if this is normal does the mom eat everything? I have three pups total I just want to make sure they are all okay are there any signs that she isnt taking care of there rear too?

You might want to ask this question in the breeders section since the pup is so young they will be very knowledgable. The only advice i can offer is have you wiped his hiney with a unscented baby wipe or a paper towel with warm water there could be something stuck.

The first fews weeks you will probably see no signs of poop. The mommas always lick their bottoms and eat the poop as it comes out. If a puppy is constipated you can take a warm damp cloth and lightly press the rectum to stimulate it. A constipated puppy will usually cry and have a hard stomach.
