Bottle raising pups, constipation?

I am handraising a litter of pups, they nursed on dam for about the first day and a half, but I had to pull them off her as she stop producing milk...anyway, I am having problems with a pup being constipated, that little belly will be tight as a drum...I know about rubbing anus with a soft rag that is damp with warm water to stimulate their ability to empty, but it isnt working with this one...from time to time she loses a little, but not near as much as other pups...any help?

It takes a couple days for milk to come in real good, mine didn't have much till about the 3rd day. Go check her again to be sure.

Ok I got a better understanding about the female. I was gonna suggest the syringe and enema, but someone already posted that. I have bottle fed quite a few litters and I had to change the formula as well. That Karo is supposed to help keep them loose, I liked the goat milk in the can the best. The canned version was better for some reason.

is this karo syrup you guys are talking about?

Posted by john guinn on 02-11-2009 05:25 AM:

u can go to any grocery store and buy its a syrup thats is used for cookin it comes in a glass bottle

It's just a mild clear corn (I think) syrup, find it at the grocry store beside all the rest of the pancake syrup.
