I have 4 one week old Chihuahua puppies and the runt of the litter is bottle fed. Now I can't get it to go poop. Does anyone out there know what I can do to help it go poop?
I don't know about puppies but we give our adult dog pumpkin on her dry dog food, he loves it .
I was told that if you use a wet pretty warm wash cloth and rub the area between his rear and his privates it is supposed to make them go try it, it can't hurt! Good luck
You need to stimulate them, get a warm wet wash cloth, and gently rub her privates with it, and see if you can get her to go that way. Usually the mother licks them down there and thats what causes them to go, if the mom isn't around or doesn't have interest in the pups its up the her human parents to stimulate them.
Take an old clean washcloth...wet it with warm water. Gently wipe the puppies rear end with the warm washcloth. You may need to rewarm the cloth. Make sure it is warm and not to hot. If you continue to do this at regular intervals, you will stimulate the puppy to go potty.
This has worked for me with newborn puppies and even baby birds!
If you have tried the warm cloth and it has not worked I would go to the Drug store and buy Baby glycerin suppositories. You just place in rectum and they melt and helps to relive he blockage
Try about 1/8th teaspoon of dark Karo syrup in its milk once a day. Hope this helps ~Janette~
Try using a warm soft washcloth and massaging his backside. Sounds dumb but it takes the place of the mama cats tongue.
Do not feed it any kind of laxatives! I am a foster parent for a no-kill shelter and deal with very young puppies and kittens a lot. You have to act like their mother would. Take 2 fingers and pretend they are a mother's tongue....gently, but firmly, stroke the puppy's tummy and body from front to back. The mother does this to "massage" the waste out of the baby. If you have to, take the baby to your local animal shelter and they will show you how to do it.
Oh MY GOD - do not give that puppy any laxitives - baby formula or not!
Like stated below - a warm washcloth and manual gently massage should do it.
You never stated why you are bottle feeding this puppy has the mother rejected him or are the siblings simply pushing him out of the way? In the very best interest of this tiny pup the first person you should contact is the dog's best friend your veterinarian.
Place their bums in a bowl of warm water and massage it with baby oil... hope this helps

My 6 day old Pug puppies have been bottle fed from the beginning because the bitch rejected them and she doesn't have any milk. I gave them antibiotics because at first their poop was watery and now they're not pooping! What should I do? I hope I can get an answer to this asap. Thanks!

Are you still wiping their bottoms with a warm damp cloth after you feed them to stimulate them to use the bathroom? They probably aren't old enough to do it all the time on their own yet. Otherwise, ask the vet just to be safe.
Get them to a vet asap.
My 3 week old chihuahua finding so hard to stimulate. Now no poops for 2 days.
Use kayro syrup 1 tsp you cam also give a cc and a half enema with a syringe. Use sterile water there's a video on youtube
I am hand feeding 6 puppies that are two weeks old. They have not pooped in the last eighteen hours. Can I give them anything? I've tried massaging their backsides.
You should contact a Vet. They should be pooping more often than not. Each dog breed may vary, but 18 hours is to long.- treatfortrick.com/
I would wait 24 hours and then call the vet.
They should be going to the bathroom or they could become constipated and that can be serious.
First; think about taking one of the pups to your local Humane Society and ask them to show you how to get these pups to go potty. As a general rule they will have someone to show you how and may possibly even help you with the other pups.
There are at least two different ways to do this: they may should easy but with wiggling pups it is not easy.
Use a wet pretty warm wash cloth and rub the area between his rear and his privates.
Massage the tummy area.
