how do you know if a puppy is consipated? and if they are how do you make them go?

They'll cry more, you can also see them trying and not being able to. Belly will be hard. While newborns are with mom, alot of times you'll see no droppings at all because she's diapering them. If it is suspected, you could take a warm damp cotton ball to him and try to stimulate to confirm.

i knew she cleaned up after them thats why i'd thought i'd ask. ones belly just seems a little rounder than than the others but it could be that hes smaller than the rest. maybe i'm feeding to much. but hes not crying so maybe he just looks well feed now that i'm feeding him.
thanks

This is the nicest way I've heard it said <smiling>

Good advice. When bottlefeeding you have to do the warm cotton ball all the time. What fun huh?
I know pumpkin helps for older puppies.
But yours are kinda young yet I think.
They usually dont have a problem until switching them to puppy mash
