Our 12 week old seems to be constipated! Any remedies will be appreciated

You can try yogurt or fruit (no grapes though), but at only 12 weeks old, I'd seek a vet's advise first.

You can try canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling), but I'd let the vet decide what to do. Pup is just too young... When was the last vet visit?

Depending on how long it has been since your yorkie has had a bowel movement, i would definatly give pumpkin. That would be the best thing to try. Canned pumpkin without sugar added. This is what we suggest at our clinic all the time. But if it has been too long since yours has went potty you may want to take it to the vet anyway. Because there could be another reason why it cant go potty, maybe something more serious. But until then, definatly give canned pumpkin.

My Coby has just started having a little "harder" time. He's not constipated---he can poop, sometimes it just comes out in little hard balls. Is this a sign of too much protein in his food? He drinks plenty of water.
I may try the canned pumpkin too.
