Exclamation Need Opinions Please: Anal Glands, Constipation, and Puppies

My cousin (whom I live with) just got a Yorkie pup!!! So that I means I have another one too!

Anyway..LOLOL Yesterday I saw her scooting her butt. I know that has to do with anal glands, and also figured it had to do with her not pooping. We've had her since Tuesday, and she hasn't pooped yet! Either that, or she is, and she's eating it.

Regardless...Matt took her to the vet yesterday and he told the vet. The vet expressed her glands. The vet said that at 11 weeks old her glands shouldn't need to be expressed! He was very concerned that this would be a problem for his new baby (named Beatrice). What do you think? Is it abnormal and or bad for a little pup to need to have her glands expressed already? What do we do about the pooping? I gave her a little oil yesterday, but that didn't work. Is pumpkin okay for a pup?

All opinons and suggestions will be happily accepted.

Thank you!!!!
