Guest savvyprchick Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Although this isn't for a greyhound, I'd love to know what to do just in case. Right now, my mom's dog hasn't pooed since Thursday morning and she's straining but not able to go. The problem is my mom is on a vacation and the dog stayed at home with my brother (who lives there). My mom's dog is very attached to my mom and will not eat a whole lot while she's gone. So she hasn't had as much as she normally would, but obviously has to go. What is safe to give a constipated dog? It'd be good to know for mine for future reference too.

Wonder Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I have given a spoonful or 2 of wet food either dog or cat. Does the trick right away.

Guest guinness_the_greyt Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Daily fiber! Give him couple tablespoons of pumpkin... then go down to 1 tablespoon daily. My BFs dog was always constipated before he came to live with me... Havent had any issues since he went on pumpkin! Good luck! Giving a fish oil caplet will also work... but a lot of times OVER works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 If pup is straining but can't go, needs to see a vet. Depending on how small, teaspoon or two of olive oil would help normal constipation, but straining etc. isn't normal ......

Guest greytexplorer Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Does peanut butter work? I don't know, just wondering if someone else knew..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest savvyprchick Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Thanks everyone... Olive Oil did the trick. She's a Sheltie, so my brother gave her only a tablespoon of it and then took her outside playing frisbee... within 20 minutes she was able to deliver the goods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
