constipation

[ohmai]

I think my dog might be having a hard time doing #2. Since I changed him to Canidae, his feces are considerably smaller and when he goes to do his business, he'd be in the crouching position to go, but he wouldn't/can't go. Know what I mean? I just watched him go an hour ago and the first 2 feces came out fine, but then he went and moved around and crouched again to get some more out, he seemed to be having a hard time, then a little pebble sized one was stuck on his butt and he was having another hard time getting it out. Constipation perhaps?

I can't help ...but maybe because of the change of size, he knows it's there but can't squeeze it out.

have you tried introducing more fluids....it may help a bit.

I give him as much water as he needs. I fill up his water bowl everytime its empty, or near empty, and he also has a pool filled with water. So I don't think that's the case.

Might seem a funny question but do you or any of your family have long hair?

Yep. How come?

well your dog ends up eating some of your hair and it comes out the other end the same as it went in , but it usually stops the first poop from dropping as it is still attached this may be why you dog was doing this because it felt the hair there

a bit of canned pumpkin (100% pure pumpkin, no spices) and some cultured yogurt should help things along.
