I have not tired the karo syrup, I thought I had read that someplace but I wasn't sure, I will try that.
I am also wondering if he might be a bit constipated, it seemed like he had somewhat of a hard time pooping this morning.
Another question...how long will mama lick the poop off of them and eat it? (yuck). I know they are going because I have seen them but when I look in their box their is never any poop.

You can also try whelping pudding
1 12 oz can of evaporated milk
12 oz of distilled water
2 egg yolks
2 Tablespoons of Karo Syrup
2 Tablespoons of Vanilla Yogurt.
1 envelope of non flavored gelatin.
Disolve the gelatin in heated microwaved water. Add evaporated milk, Karo, Yogurt and egg yolks well beaten. Refrigerate until chilled and firm....feed to pups and moms that are nursing.
The Karo may help with his pooping problem. Mom will diaper a pup forever.....Oh, they'll go on their own, but you won't see poop around when mom is. It's an instinct, mother's keep the den clean. I have a girl that is 3 years old.....her mother still tries to diaper her.
