How do newborn puppies defecate?
Newborn puppies are usually helped to defecate by the mother dog and need no intervention from the owner. If the puppy has no mother, the owner can moisten a tissue with water and, mimicking the mother's licking, gently wipe the puppy's anus and urethral opening to stimulate elimination. Be careful not to wipe too hard, as this can damage the delicate anal skin. It is generally best to help the puppy eliminate every 4-5 hours, and if it eats a lot, shorten the interval to avoid constipation or bloating.
