We do the coconut oil therapy with all our dogs.

it works for their breath and their coats, so is a double winner.... if you do a little research you will find it, I never give my dogs anything without researching even when my holistic vet suggest it.
start slow with the oil, if you give her too much she will get a loose stool, start with 1/4 teaspoon every other day and slowly bring it up to the normal dose, her breath will be very sweet in about a week....

Did You Know About Coconut Oil For Dogs?

Do you know about Coconut Oil?
Added to the diet coconut oil can help slim overweight dogs, condition dry shabby-looking coats, offers some relief to painful arthritis or ligament problems, can help balance the thyroid, gives dogs a natural source of energy and helps keep dogs smelling better. My favorite use of coconut oil - improves digestion and nutrient absorption. I replace all oils in the doggy treats I bake with Coconut Oil.
People have found with topical use their dogs ear infections improve, as do flea allergies, contact dermatitis, and other skin irritations. It's also been shown to help get rid of moles, heal sores and condition the dog's dry cracked feet pads.
The oil can be applied to sores. It is slow absorbing so try to keep the dog occupied for several minutes after applying it. Try it on hot spots, sore foot pads, minor bites or even to clean ears.
Coconut oil will deodorize anything it touches and will make your dog smell better when it's fed to him.
Dogs love the taste of coconut and many will lick it off a spoon. It can be feed alone or mixed in dog food. Start very slow. Work up to a teaspoon a day for each 20 pounds of body weight. If you notice greasy stools cut back the oil for a few days. The oil will help detox the system so it's important to go slow and over several weeks work up to the full doseage.

Hope this helps! Please post anymore questions you have.

I swear, some people should not breed. the first video the lady was irking me when she kept pushing her dog to lay down and rubbing her while she was in active push labor! That pup took to long to get out. (Also, teacup? haha)

Dogs do not lay on their backs with their legs in the air..lol.. whenever my dogs whelp they sit up while pushing, it makes it easier for them to bare down.

And the 2nd one bugged me because she wasn't pulling the sacs off the heads or suctioning. And OMG those were HUGE puppies!!

Add more water to the food..and add a little oil. I have never had constipated pups so I cannot be much help. I would think that if they are going then they are fine, it will soften up more as they drink more water.

When I brought Daisy home she would not drink water. I put some in a teaspoon and she would lick the water from the spoon. Just a thought

congrats on your beautiful healthy girls! so very sorry you lost your lil boy

are they still having trouble going poo? I'm pretty sure it's because of the Royal Canine for Yorkies, unfortunately, that is causing this. If you switch them over to a good puppy food, they will hopefully start going poo easier.

Good luck & please post some new pics of those gorgeous pups & their proud mommy & papa

huggies & snuggles, Angie & the spoiled brats
