| put some vaseline on your finger they will lick it off, they actually like it or you can try a teaspoon of pure pumpkin. You can also try a warm water enema in a syringe, they tend to work rather quick. hope this helps

| Poopy True the pumpkin works great. You might also try some apples, or carrots for a treat.

| karo syrup helps, a warm towel on the belly. I think my girl was constipated to, she did not feel well for 2 days. She had a upset hard bloated belly. I had to syringe feed her some yogurt, we took a nap this morning, she woke up, poo'd & now shes all better |

| Gracie has this problem upon ocassion. Try some metamucil (unflavored powder) sprinkled on thier food, for 6.5 lb dog I can use 3 tsps daily. She did need a little extra help a couple of weekends ago so my vet gave me Laxotene. It is actually used to prevent and aid in the digestion of hairball in cats. Sure enough one tsp of that and she was able to go It comes in a tube that looks like nutrical. Good Luck

| Using an eyedropper filled with pure clycerine, insert in pup's rectum and release a couple of drops (one-quarter cc). Massage anal area. Warm water can also be used and administered rectally with an eyedropper.

| do you think a little mineral oil to give him will be alright until I can get out tomorrow? I put vaseline on his bum. His little rectum is red and all pooched out and his little belly is tender to my light touch. we are vet bound in the morning I think |

| Mineral Oil would be fine....with his tummy tender, there is a possibilty that he has trapped gas and my need the glycerine or warm water. A couple of drops of Milk of Magnesia under his tongue, may do the trick. His rectum being red and pooched out sounds like he may need his anal glands expressed too. Keep us posted on his vet visit.

| he seems fine today. The vet told me to put vaseline on his little butt and just watch him. it isn't as pooched out or as red as it was yesterday. i found two puppy piles today and I am almost sure one was from him but i didn't see him go. He said he is too young to have to express anal glands. he is only twelve weeks. thanks for all your advice. |

Glad he's ok. I've expressed my puppies at 8 weeks if they show signs of needing it done.

| I'm glad the little one is feeling better. That must have been scary due to the pups age. Hope things are back to normal now. Carol & Buddy |

| I will keep that in mind. Could the glands fill up in just a few dayss? I had him checked at the vet last Wednesday when i brought him home. he checked him from one end to the other because of my purchase contract. |

| If he's still struggling I would try the pure glycerine....it's worked for me, with no adverse reaction, just helps them go
