Lola is 9 weeks old and we've only had her a few days. Today she is constipated. We;ve been feeding her Pedigree Chicken Morsels for Puppies and giving her plenty of water. I even had some dry puppy food out. any advise? She goes to the vet Tuesday for her 2nd set of shots.

Maybe try a different food? A yorkie's tummy can be upset when there is a food change, what did they feed Lola before?

When Toto is a little irregular we give her a teaspoon or two of minced apple or pear ... you can also give pumpkin. Our vet said she could give her something for it but I don't like for her to take medication unless it's absolutely necessary!
