[MandiesMom]

Hi, I think the no poop thing is more normal than people think. I wish vets would mention this during the whole thing. Mandie had a problem with constipation due to the meds (and I also think she was having a little pain from straining to poop so then that just made her not want to go). There is a recent thread in this section of a similar situation.

My advice is to feed Kuma some fiber (like carrot sticks and/or green beans). Also, might want to talk to the vet about a stool softener and/or just go get some mineral oil and give Kuma a little on his food. I did the mineral oil on food and rubbed some on Mandie's rear end. Eventually, my vet did an enema but I really don't think it was needed in hindsight.
