My 10-day-old orphaned puppies are constipated. How can I help?

Question

Hi, I am currently trying to raise orphaned puppies of Bernese Mountain Dog, they are 10 days old. They have a problem with pooping. The time pauses between poopin are up to 28 hours, even when I stimulate them after every feeding, every 4 hours. How can I prevent this??

It sounds like you are doing all the right things. However, it is definitely not normal for puppies to go this long without defecting. I recommend you have them evaluated by your veterinarian right away.
