I agree with others above, constipation or poop stuck can be bad enough to warrant a vet visit.
Max had a serious case one night that included gas. Looking back, I should have taken him to the ER. He is not a lover of baths, but putting him in the sink with his front paws on the counter helped. Walking, canned plain pumpkin also helped.
Teddy also had a bad case of constipation once and we did take him to the ER. I thought he had injured his back it was so bad. The exciting car ride there made him want to poop once we arrived. Still took him overnight to fully recover.
A little fish oil can be good, but it is easy to overdo it. Too much of the Omegas not adequately balanced by Vit E can cause other serious problems.
