water will help i had this problem ,my pups are nearly 6weeks old now and 1 of these didnt poo much so i gave water in a syringe 4times aday just a small amount ,when mine got to 4weeks old they were laping themselfs.

went to vets this evening he xrayed her to make sure it was not gas in her stomach, he gave me some laxatine to help pass her wee poo's.

Hi Dipdipdaisy

I had a similar problem with one of the puppies and funny enough I found the problem with him was it was because he didn't want to poo in the whelping box.

Once I started to put him out on the grass, he started to poo regularly.
