| Constipation Its been about a day and a 1/2 since Benjamin went poop. He doesn't really want his wet food, but seems to be eating the dry food. I tried to get him to drink some water, but no luck... He has had some stinky gas though.. which is new for him... any suggestions? |

Bella Boo & Diggy Too! Donating GS Member | I would take him to the vet. I know Kayro syrup syrup works on human kids but with a tiny fur butt, I wouldnt know what to tell ya for dosage. Id call the vet they should be able to tell you something on the phone!

| Mine dont like pumpkin so that never works for me. I mixed it with yogurt and they ate a little of it but not enough to do any good. Next time one gets constipated I am going to buy a Ole Roy dog treat. That should do the job. One of the ladies I sold a puppy to gave her dog one and it loosened her up real good. |

| THe pumpkin did not work for us we used mineral oil, but if you use this contact your vet and find out how much to give. I can't remember how much mineral oil we gave our girls.
