An update is in order...
I haven't named the puppies yet, but, "#2" got feces stuck in her hair, at the base of her tail. When I noticed it, I cleaned it off and let her finish her bowel movement. Right then I noticed some blood and two tears of skin. sad face!
Being in the medical field, I cleaned it very well and applied a warm compress. I did this four times before putting her to bed. That was last night. Today I got her in at the new vet's office and she's now on antibiotics, pain meds, and a laxative. All are liquid, oral medications. It was a couple hundred, but, she's napping now. She has been eating a tiny bit of dry puppy food, soaked in water with a tab of low-sodium chicken broth (for taste). Of course she knocked out after her pain meds. I gave her about .02ml's less than the prescribed amount for pain medication. And I'm keeping an eye on her.

When I got in from work, she was mobile and licking me. Even still, when I wake her up to check on her, she walks a bit and licks me. She seems fine and not as much grunting from her wound now. Her px med is 3x/day along with her laxative. And of course antibiotics are twice a day. Here's a pic of her bum from last night.

I shaved all the girls' hind ends last night, to help prevent the problem in the future.

Her meds are:
Butorphanol 1mg/ml in cherry syrup
Clavamox 62.5mg/ml
Lactulose 10g/15ml

EDIT:
She's gotten up a couple times in the last half hour to have a BM, but, hasn't produced anything yet. Apparently, the laxative is starting to work. She whines a little like she needs to go. After a moment, she lays down and rests. When she's done, she goes back to the other girls and plops on top of them, while they're resting.
