It was really scary because he couldn't go...My husband immediately got him in the tub and helped him and cleaned him up. But now his butt is really red...I know awhile back someone had posted about how their doggie was constipated and how it was really red and that from the strain, their doggie's butt was sore and red and it looked almost like his insides were coming out while he was straining...I tried doing a search for this, but I couldn't find it. Can anyone please help me find it, or let me know if this is normal...His insides aren't coming out, but the redness does worry me. I wonder if there's anything I can do for him or put on him. Any input at all would be appreciated.
Thanks to everyone ahead of time,

Under normal circumstances he will do fine by keeping it really clean and dry. If you are not seeing an improvement within a couple days then take him into your vet. After this just be sure to keep a decent size area trimmed around the anus. Basically what happens is the stool gets stuck on some hair there and the dog sits on it and when they try to go again, the new stool is unable to push pass the current mess and you have what you found. A horrible mess. Good luck.
