Severe Constipation

Severe Constipation
Our Bichon seems to be suffering from severe constipation- Does any one know what is cause and how to cure?

I work at a vet and if it’s very bad you will need to see your veterinarian for an enema. Also, are you positive that the dog hasn’t eaten something and could possibly have a blockage?

Don’t forget that exercise is a great constipation cure. Depending on the age and condition of your dog, a long walk or a vigorous game of fetch does a great job of kick-starting a sluggish bowel and will have your dog as regular as clockwork in no time.

Milk will often help the constipation problem as dogs even reluctant to drink water will most often drink the milk offered. Offer a small bowlful and let her lap it up. She will initially have a runny stool but it should solve the constipation problem.

Canned pumpkin in its pureed form (not pumpkin pie filling) is also a great stool softener and a natural remedy for constipation. It helps soothe an upset stomach or indigestion in both cats and dogs. It is very rich in fiber and adding just one or two teaspoonfuls to your pet’s food often gets their system moving in no time. Dogs may eat it by itself and that’s all right too.

Remember though – if the dog has eated something that could cause a blockage (paper, bones, fabric from clothing, most anything) then you should see your veterinarian ASAP – especially if the dog is running a fever (Anything above 102.5 F).

Best wishes!

Edit: Someone above me suggested yogurt. Yogurt is often given to dogs – but usually suggested when they have diarrhea and it will help them clear it up. Stick with the milk and pumpkin until the is clear – then if she gets diarrhea you can try the yogurt.
