| Trouble Passing; anything I can do to help Logan is having trouble passing something, I would guess a piece of hoof. I think it's on the back leg of it's journey & I know it's not causing a complete blockage, but it is causing him a lot of discomfort. I was wondering if there is anything I can give him to help it out. I tried a little karo syrup this morning, but he didn't want it. I gave him a bit of pepto bismol before I left for work. I'm sure he'll be fine, I just hate seeing him in pain like this. So if anyone knows of anything I could give him to help him get this passed I would appreciate it. I'm gonna put a call into my vet as soon as they open to see what they recommend.

| I don't know. You might need to take him to the vet. Most of these chews can also cause intestinal damage... Can you switch to something else for chews?

I called the vet & they said 1 tsp of canned pumpkin twice daily, so I'm going to go pick that up. If he doesn't improve I'll take him in in the morning. I started another thread looking for a chew that would last with him, but not cause any problems.

| You might give him a warm bath also. That may help him to go

| I actually kinda did this this morning. He hoped in the shower with me which I thought was odd since he didn't feel good. But I had the same thought so I held him under the warm shower on his tummy, he likes this anyway, & rubbed him belly & his bum. It didn't really seem to help, but maybe it provided a little relief.

| The canned pumpkin works great. I freeze it in those little silicone ice cube trays so it lasts longer.

| Logan didn't want to eat the canned pumpkin yet, but cottage cheese looked good to him. So we gave him a few spoonfuls of cottage cheese with a little karo syrup and he ate most of that. He seems better, but not good yet. My mom is going to watch him for the rest of the afternoon.

| I give Chelsea a bit of salman oil and wait about 1/2 hour and she goes, it's a little softer & liquid at the end. |

| I'll have to see if my mom has canola oil cause I don't know if I do. Hopefully by the time I go pick him up things will have worked there way out. He didn't seem like he was in as much pain at lunch as he was this morning. here's hoping.
