My lil Jasper is almost 9 weeks old...I got him Sunday and he has already stolen my heart! He has adjusted so well, never got stressed, loves the kids, and has just been a blessing!

We woke up this morning, and I noticed he was trying to poop, and <yuck> it was stuck! After turning to the boards, and trying the "warm rag" home remedy, and much gagging, we got in the car and went straight to the doctor! He assured it that this isn't abnormal, but wanted to do an enema because he is "full" of poop. He wanted me to leave him...he said so he wouldn't be pooping all over us for the next few hours, but I can't help to be so worried for him! I don't even understand, I've been following the same regimen the breeder was as far as diet. He did have his first bath last night, and HATED the blow dryer so I ended up towel drying him and gave him a little nutri-cal (finger tip size) since he was so stressed. Can the nutri cal cause bowel problems? Should I only be using this when he's not eating? I want my little man to be with me for a long time...I certainly don't want to be the reason he's sick! If anyone has experienced this, I would so appreciate the feed back!
