Constipation or other problem????

Lil Gretel seems to get impacted. This is the second time this has happened. She has been shivering and vomiting and not wanting to eat. Then I noticed she was trying to poop and nothing came out. I raised her tail and she had feces clumped all in her hair so I washed her, she yelped alot and I saw her anus was red and distended. I am not sure if this is just constipation or a serious problem. Before this her poops have been not hard all the time but sticky which might have caused it to clot on her behind. I bathe her once a week so this happened within a few days. This is my first dog and I read about anal sacks...I dont know if this would be part of the problem (I think they get impacted...) but she never scoots but does lick and chew her hair alot from allergies. I know this is gross but I dont want her to suffer and want to prevent it from happening again and like to know the problem....if any one has any expertise I would appreciate it.

Hi. Did you ever find out what to do about il Gretel's constipation and what to do about it? My Max has the same problem today, just as you described without the vomiting. His little bottom was impacted. | |

I have found that my Yorkie does well if he has 1 rounded teaspoon of canned pumpkin every morning. ( not pumpkin pie filling)It is high fiber and good for him. He likes this and turkey deli meat as a treat. I put spoonfuls on wax paper and freeze it for use daily...no waste. | |
