When was the last time he had a BM? What kind of treats do you give? Has there been any vomiting? I feed Joey RC too, and I can't seem to find a food that he does any better on. I don't think the RC is causing the problem, but you never know. With constipation I always worry about an intestinal obstruction. Let's say they ate a raw hide, and a small piece didn't digest, this could cause an obstruction, but probably there would be no appetite. Joey's never had constipation, so I haven't had to treat it, but I have read others say canned pumpkin works well, some also have suggested mineral oil, but that's more aggressive. Is it possible that he ate something other than his food? If not, he may be having a problem with the food.
