Well after this episode she was psycolgicly constipated, and acted similar to your dog even tho it really didnt hurt her any more , it was AWEFUL , and she too pooped several times a day only releasing a little bit at a time causing her to have to go more, she associated pooping wth PAIN... okay well I saw a specialist at childrens because it was torture watching her try to poop The Dr suggested Mineral oil, she was 2 and I had to give her 2 table spoons of mineral oil each day, what this does is make the poop slide out, there is no pushing involved and if there is a small blockage of hard poop it will soften it and make it come out easliy after it absorbs the oil, its all natural and it cant hurt him( well get more advise from someone on here), I tihnk you should try it, it was just in her mind that it would hurt again so after a few weeks of it sliding out and no pain associated with pooping she was fine... I have no idea what the recommended dosage would be for a puppy but maybe you could try 4 or 5 drops, it has no taste at all maybe mix it with yogurt. Maybe someone on here can tell you if mineral oil can be used on dogs, but I swear this really helped her!

mineral oil and vegetable oil are what my vets suggest too. just a little
