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.

I rushed a pup to the vet a couple weeks ago because he was drooling, shaking and not doing much else. I thought he was having seizure
Come to find out he was just constipated and we found this out and our baby recieved a warm water enema for $77.50!!! Good news was the vet said the best medicine for a constipated puppy is 5-6 drops of prune juice. She said we could use more but to start with 5-6 drops and check a couple hours later. This has worked WONDERFULLY for us! We have used this a couple times now with great results and if the pup isnt constipated the prune juice doesnt hurt them.
