    The store bought formula can actually cause constipation. But since they are so close to solid food time, there is no point in switching to something else.

    I would call your vet and see if there is anything you can do at home. The itty bitties need vet attention instead if home remedies and quick fixes.

    Maybe one of the more experienced puppy people may have a suggestion for you.
