| Poor "Poopie" head I think I read somewhere that you can give her a little mineral oil to make the poop come out a little easier. Have you been feeding her anything different? That could be the culprit. I hope your gets back on the regularity track. I know how it feels...personally!!! Ok, I gave too much info.!

| Olive oil that you cook with can be used too, but don't over do it. Soft canned dog food should help if she's not already getting it. |

| You might need to have her anal glands expressed. Your vet can do this.

| Thanks for all your suggestions.....we have been giving her a wide variety of treats lately so I think we will try narrowing that down...I will also give her some canned food seeing that I don't have any olive oil at the moment...she is due for her shots in 2 weeks hopefully she will get better befor then and thenI will have the vet check for anal gland thing....you know I've read on here alot about expressing anal glands but I have never done this with Zoe and she will be 3 at the end of January...is this something that affects all yorkies, dogs , or just certain ones??? |

| Check with your groomer - she may express the anal glands for you.
