My friends sister Shih Tzu has a litter of 2 puppies 5 weeks ago...one puppy was constipated for a couple days..they went to the vet and he said if the puppy was still constipated in a couple days to bring him back in..well last Thursday she brought him in and they gave him an enema..and said there is nothing else they can do for such a young puppy which I think is BS..he hasnt pooped since the enema and its now Sunday...I am trying to tell my friend to tell her sister to get a new vet...grrrrrrrrr...I think its an intestine problem of some sort..any other ideas??
