Answer:


If your puppy is eating well, drinking and playing I would not be too worried yet.  Start by adding about 5 drops baby oil to each meal and also add about 1/4 by volume of additional water to each meal.  If your puppy is not eating well, doesn't feel good or is straining to defecate there are additional steps you should take.  We could discuss these steps in a chat session so I can get more information.
