Twice he hasnt pooped at night and only pooped one little nugget that morning and doesnt poop again until the next morning.

He didnt gain any weight from his last appointment about 2 and half weeks ago. Im wondering if I am not feeding him enough so thats why he isnt pooping enough? Ive started feeding him an eight in the AM and a fourth at night. My vet also suggested canned pumpkin, because were feeding him Royal Canin Mini Puppy dry. She said it was a very good food.

Any suggestions?
I agree about the pumpkin, about a tsp or so, depending on puppy size.
1/4 cup a day isn't much (IMO) is she boy, or skinny??
