need help again

[trishS]

My puppy 15 weeks old tried to go #2 tonight and circled his pee paid and cried. He never did go. What should I do or should I be concerned?
Thanks everyone!

My pups would do that when they were trying to find just the right spot to go--circles and urgency :dogsm6: ....maybe going outside would help. Did you just introduce the training pads?

[Cares4dogs]

hummm my post didnt post for some reason. Did you just start using the pee pads?

[trishS]

he has been using the pee pads all along. He just seems to be having problems pooping.

constipated?

[Cares4dogs]

If your baby cant go poo-I'd take he/she to a vet if you think its serious enough. How long has it been since went?

[Cares4dogs]

Well if its constipation-maybe a warm soak in the tub would help--or could always try a tiny bit of Caro Syrup....that works for my human kids :D AND when I got my puppy, the breeder said it was okay to give a little bit of Caro if showing signs of hypoglycemia so it should be okay to give it.

A warm bath does help just like for a skinbaby. Canned pumpkin also is good for constipation.

But, if he is a little puppy I would have him seen by a vet just to waver on the side of caution.

I dont know much, but it sounds like constipation to me too! Poor baby, I hope everything works out! Take him to the vet!

I would try some of the above suggestions, if he is not okay today please take him to the vet..
Good Luck,
Andrea~

Thanks everyone for the advice! I guess I am a nervous new mother. It's only been a week and a half with my new Maltese and I panicked. He had a bowel movement this morning. Whee.
But now thanks to everyone I'll know what to do in the future.
