Just feed him some very spongy food like bread, cheese, mashed potaoes, etc.

He could get diarrhea from the sugar. If he does,he can have Immodium, kayopectate or any OTC at www.wolfdancer.org/health scroll down for products and dosages.

If he developes any constipation or abdominal pain he should see a vet.. It can take up to 36 hours to pass it all so just monitor his stool til then

Please let me know how he is doing.I will always be here for you.

Your baby should be fine.

Sincerest best wishes,

Terri
