| Constipation........ Can anyone help? My little Miss Cicelia is got really firm dookie! She sure has to strain to get it out! We just got her last night and all she has been eating is Pedagree dry food. Should I give her some wet food? Please Help! |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | So sorry you didn't receive any replies yet! How is Cicelia - did things "move along"...? Giving her some extra hydration can help w/ constipation...but you don't want to cause diarrhea w/ new food, and a new home...so be careful, just give a little - if any. There are a lot better foods out there than Pedigree, so I'd probably work toward getting her off that once she's adjusted to her new home (after a couple weeks) - good brands might be Orijen, Innova EVO dry, Wellness... Please let us know how it's going as there are other things to try for constipation. Also, since you just got her home, a visit to her new vet is always a good idea too.

| A tablespoon or 2 of pure pumpkin helped Max when he could not go once. I used Libby's (the one with no added sugar and spices- JUST pumpkins). He loved the pumpkin! Also I would try to feed a better quality food.
