My litter is 7 weeks old and the cry when the defecate. Is this normal?
Full Question:
Hi--love your site. I have a litter of boxer puppies 7 weeks old and doing great. They are paper trained and looking good. One thing concerns me, it seems like a couple of them cry when they defecate...is that normal? They have a vet appointment in 5 days for their litter certification. Whelping was the most amazing thing to have seen, and I am so lucky to have seen it in my lifetime!
Thanks,
Molly
Cindy's Answer:
Usually when puppies cry like that it's because they may be constipated. Try adding some canned pumpkin (not pie filling, 100% pure pumpkin) to their food. It doesn't take much, maybe a tablespoon full per pup.
