| ![]() Canned pumpkin without all the spices usually does the trick. Is he straining with nothing coming out? Are you sure he couldn't have eaten anything to cause an intestinal blockage? With a blockage usually at least some liquid portion comes out. |

| ![]() ![]() ![]() I don't think he are anything he shouldn't have. I just noticed that he hadn't used the potty in two days. After I gave him the apples & milk, he did alittle overnight and it was very hard and dried?? I'm not sure what's causing it or how to releave him ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() If little hard balls came out then he doesn't have a blockage, just constipated. He is just not drinking enough water Sounds like the pumpkin would help, along with a brisk walk. Keep an eye on his water consumption, give a low sodium chicken broth mixed with water to encourage fluid intake. |

| ![]() Thanks, Right now I am up for any suggestions that do not sound too harsh. This morning when I woke up, he had pooped again and it was still black, hard and extremely dry. I will try the broth. ![]() ![]() |
