My 5-week-old puppy has green and brown poop. What can I do at home?

Question

I have an orphaned 5 week old puppy who's poop has a mixture of green and brown color with no any other symptoms present He was constipated for 2 days until yesterday when he started producing this poop and then pooped it again today. I went to the vet and he advised feed him infant cereal (i'm using Cerelac) and reduce the milk. I don't notice any change in behavior. Is there anything I can do to make his poop healthy again from home as the vet is on holiday and won't be back for another week? Pet's info: Dog | Pekingese | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 8 days old | 1lb

At five weeks you can start transitioning to a puppy food that is moistened with some KMR or other replacer milk, or look for puppy mousse (Royal Canin and a few other companies carry it) that is designed for transition from milk to solid foods. Otherwise, keeping him eating and drinking can also help, as can testing for parasites or other illness and deworming if the stool does not return to normal.
