New puppy My puppy is 8 weeks old. She was constipated yesterday and I put her little bottom in warm water and she was fine. I got up and played with her this morning and she was fine. I came home for lunch and found that she did not eat her food and only peed on her pad. She is shaking a little bit. Help? |
I would give her a small amount of karo syrup or honey and rub it on her gums. I would do this while I was on my way to the closest vet!! This is an emergency situation for an 8 week old pup. Please get your puppy to the vet immediately. Then please post an update after you get the help you need...good luck!!! |

Totally agree with this. Puppies this young and small need to eat often. I know when I got Lexi, and still now, she would never eat while I was gone. Luckily I don't work so I never had to worry about her not eating enough. Not sure how long you are gone for work, but your pup could die from not eating enough due to hypoglycemia. I would see if you could have someone stop by a few times while you are working to be sure she is getting some food in her often. |
This is a post from yesterday, but puppy and Yorkie owners should know that a finger "wet" in olive oil, on the anal area, massaging clock wise will trigger the reflexes necessary to resolve most constipation situations. A constipated puppy will not eat, can become hypoglycemic and things can go unwell. I decided to post this here because a lot of puppy owners research yorkietalk for answers on puppy care and well being. It is a simple thing to know, may sound graphic, but it is a real situation. If quickly addresses, appetite continues, "business" continues as normal , happy life! Xoxo |
I also just noticed she is an owner not a breeder of this 8 week old baby, I will resume to add that you need to contact the breeder about this, perhaps this puppy may not be ready to be by itself yet. Xoxo |
Could you please update us on your girl? Hoping she is doing better! |
I agree with Kreuer that it would be best to have someone who can look after your puppy while you are at work -- at least for a few weeks. Also make sure that her little rear end stays clean. With small pups, just a little bit of poop stuck on their rear ends can cause problems. Good job with the warm bath. |
