 My 4 Week Old Shih Tzu Puppy Is Constipated, What Can I Do???
One of the 4 week old shih tzu puppies is having trouble with constipation. She keeps trying to go but very little success. Any help or suggestions. I worry about her.

 I hope this pup isn't eating solids yet. They aren't old enough at this age to digest solid food, and it can be very harmful to them. If this is the case, I would get pup to the vet, and there they would probably do an enema, and give you some laxatives made especially for your pet, (do not use human laxatives unless the vet says to) and check to make sure that nothing else is obstructing the pups bowels. Hope this helps, good luck.

 I called the vet and he had me add a little Karo syrup to the very liquid puppy mash they are eating as well as nursing. All puppies are doing fine. Thank you.
