| Little Guy Having Poop Issues... Not really a major emergency. My little guy, 15 months old, 2 weeks removed from his neutering. This morning we went outside in the yard to do our morning thing and he tried to poop but it seemed like he was straining real bad. Possibly impacted. I took him to the utility sink where we have a bath and tried to clean him off and was mildly successful. Went back upstairs and he was in a bit of pain and did manage to poop a little bit (on the floor in the house, first accident in months)... Now he is sleeping but has little interest in dealing with anyone today... What should we do to make him a little more comfy today? |

| Call the vet..... I would call your vet and talk with them about it and see if they think a little Nutri-Stat would help. Is this the first time he has had problems, or just since the operation? Good Luck to you... |

| Search on YT Do a search here on YT about it (constipation?) I know the search feature here has helped me so much. I have spent hours reading all the info for my specific needs and there is so much help here. Someone will come along in no time and maybe be able to help you more than I.... I think I would call the vet also though...... |

| Canned pumpkin (without the added spices) will help with either diarrhea or constipation. Lanatone (cat hairball remover) is safe to use as a laxative for dogs. Encourage fluids and add liquid to his dry food or give canned until his system gets back to normal. Do make sure you clean him up good and use scissors if necessary because this can cause pain and blockage. |
