The best time to remove a puppy from its mother is once it is weaned. A puppy should remain with the litter until at least six weeks old, preferably eight weeks old. The longer it is on mother's milk, the healthier it will be but it may be better if you get it earlier because if it remembers its family it can die earlier from depression

If it has a mother that is taking care of it, she will do that. If not, you can use a warm (NOT HOT) wet washcloth and wipe the puppy's anus to stimulate the bowel movement.

But you may have to repeat it several times a day until the puppy is having regular bowel movements if there is no mother dog to take care of it.

Sometimes when you take a puppy away from it's mother so soon, it takes a while for it to get used to it's new surroundings. Give it some time to adapt to it's new home. Find a high-quality and nutritious puppy food, and stick to that. It is also normally more appealing to a puppy if you moisten the food with warm water. good luck with your puppy raising! =]=]
