When we were on vacation and our grand-daughter was taking care of our yorkies, she discovered Dinky, who was about 8 weeks old at the time, was just laying there, non-responsive. I figured that he may be dehydrated and talked her though getting liquid into him. When she called me back, Dinky had a butt full of poop. I told her how to use a warm wash rag and gently get as much off as she could, and even used the sink sprayer to loosen it up. She finally got all the poop off and sure enough, he pooped all over her. She took him home with her that night to make sure he got plenty of liquids. She called us the next day, frantic, because his butt was very red and she thought he was going to die. A small swab of Vaseline took care of that.

Our litter of girls who are 10 weeks old lost their mother when they were 8 days old and I had to hand feed them At about 3 1/2 weeks they were getting diarrhea. My vet had me put them on soft puppy food. That problem solved for a short time until one of them became constipated. He recommended adding less than a 1/4 of a teaspoon Kayro syrup to their food. Worked like a charm.
