What can I give Stedman for Constipation?

[bettyeanne]

With all that "treatment", that poor baby had no choice but to go!! I'm thankful you didn't give him blueberries!! Blueberries on top of all that? It could've been real ugly!!!

Steddy, we are all so happy to hear that you finally went! I'll tell you a secret about Toto ... shhhhh .... She had that problem once and we were soooo happy when she went, I made a picture of it!! It was the cutest little poop I had ever seen!

Tell me about it!! Well, when I was at the store yesterday, I had my eye on the blueberries....LOL....but decided to wait since you said that you hadn't talked to your vet about it yet But as for all the other things I gave him LOL...I didn't give those to him all at once HAHA....his little butt probably would have been like a fire hydrant LOL! I just tried them all throughout the day....just to see what would work best for him....well, looks like something worked LOL I have never been so happy to see a dog take a POOP in all my life

And LOL about Toto's poop picture!!! HAHAHA! Girl, that is just TOO funny! Who knows, I probably would have done the same thing if all my camera batteries weren't dead, lol!

lol Only a mother could say that!

I remember when Buddy was so sick and had the runs for 2mos.
Vet said it was the food so I kept buying different food and donating
it to a resuce. Finally when he was diagnosed with a male parasite
and treated and finally did a REAL POOP I was dancing around in the street like a nut!

Never withhold water from your pet as this could set her up for kidney problems and other behavioral issues. Prevent constipation by adding vegetables to her diet. Many people use a combination of cut green beans mixed with wetted dry dog food. Don't forget that exercise is a great constipation cure. Depending on the age and condition of your dog, a long walk or a vigorous game of fetch does a great job of kick-starting a sluggish bowel and will have your dog as regular as clockwork in no time. Milk will often help the constipation problem as dogs even reluctant to drink water will most often drink the milk offered. Offer a small bowlful and let her lap it up. She will initially have a runny stool but it should solve the constipation problem. Canned pumpkin in its pureed form (not pumpkin pie filling) is also a great stool softener and a natural remedy for constipation. It helps soothe an upset stomach or indigestion in both cats and dogs. It is very rich in fiber and adding just one or two teaspoonfuls to your pet's food often gets their system moving in no time. Dogs may eat it by itself and that's all right too.

oh poor steddy . . how do you know he is constipated? if he feels like he wants to go but nothing comes out?

Both my furbabies get a good carrot and beans veggie onto their main meal daily . . . I but the frozen kind and mixed it with a spoonful of their wet dry food and add water so by the time I mix the wet and veggie to the kibble, it kinda looks like they are eating stew of course the icing is a dullop of either cottage cheese or activia yogurt - yummooooooo!

hope your little stud muffin feels better sooon . . . watch out when he finally relieves himself . . it might just be a mountain pile of poop
