| Please Help "Chilly can't Make a Poopie"... Last night I noticed Chilly was trying to go but nothing was coming out. He went a couple of times during the day and I'm sure nothing came out then, but I hadn't noticed the problem yet. When I took him out for the last time, I took a flashlight & found what he did get out, which was a quarter size of messy poo, with a trace of what looked like blood. No other symtoms, didn't eat anything except his dog food...could he just be constipated? I just called the vet, they said to try Canned Pumpkin, or a Kitten Laxative. He only weighs 7 lbs. & had 9 teeth pulled about 6 weeks ago, but that went excellent. Worried...thanks for any help. Sherri |

| mix a little vegetable oil with his food, he is probably just constipated. Also, if you soak his food in water, it will ensure that he is getting enough liquid when he eats. Good luck!

| If he has runny poo , the laxative may make matters worse. Use the pumpkin or peeled apple. They work for both runny poo and contsipation. If it doesn't clear up in about another 24 hours take him to the vet. |
