Constipated Puppy Not sure if this is the right place to post but I am wondering if anybody can help me with my puppy. He sometimes gets constipated. He is 11 weeks old and I asked the vet and they suggested a warm water enema, which I am really not comfortable doing as I have NO clue how to do it. I have tried Karo Syrup it does "ok" but still he is constipate. The weird thing is, is that it's not all the time. |
Give him a little bit of canned pumpkin. 2 teaspoons a day unill he goes |

My thought too. It really works and most puppies like it. Good luck, poor little guy. |
If the pumpkin doesn't work give him some green beans. |
I have give mine in the past a little of mineral oil, it work every time, I suggest to call the vet office and ask if is ok and how much according to his weight:aimeeyork |
thank you Thank you all. |
I think you got some great advise and I would not do the enema as you could do some damage.:( You say he has had this before which is odd, what are you feeding your little one and I know this is a dumb question but is his fanny shaved so the poop comes out easy. |
Mine has chronic constipation no matter what I feed. Some dogs just have constipation like people. I tried every thing. The vet told me to give green beans and see how it went as the green veggies are higher in fiber. The green beans made a diff. But not enough for mine so vet said to add Metamucil. Now with the green beans and metamucil he's pooping great. |
