| Layla is having poop problems She asked me not to post this.. however... she is normally a morning pooper.... like clockwork... but it is 5 oclock and no poop.. she has had two meals today (the past few days she hasnt' eaten much but today she was hungry) and we've probably been outside at least 7 times.. it's like she knows she has to poop but once we geto ut there she does a little piddle.. as if to justify getting all bundled up.. and we are back inside.. her tummy is making noises... so sad... anyhow... i don't have canned pumpkin and the store near us doens't sell it (small town) anything else i can use?? (and keep this between you and i ) |

| Do you have any bran cereal to try? One of the temptations is to use mineral oil but maybe that is not a good idea: An old fashioned remedy has been the oral administration of mineral oil. It is best to avoid this temptation as mineral oil, being a light fluid without flavor, is easily inhaled accidentally into the respiratory tract. Since it is a mineral based compound, it cannot ever be removed by the body and the immune system will forever attempt to wall it off with inflammatory granulomas. http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body...megacolon.html

| I've found giving our little furgirl small pieces of apple, which she gobbles up, or honey-nut cheerios (lots of fiber in those) works really well for almost instant relief of constipation. |

| I wouldn't feed her anything at all right now until she does go. Just give her water. I'd also look around very carefully in the house, behind furniture and so on just in case she missed the "deposit" box. Mum's the word here! |

| Conner is also a morning pooper. But when he eats light, the next day he does not poop until early evening or before going to bed. When he eats heavy, sometimes he will poop twice!! I'm sure it will be coming.
