Guest dramaqueen Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Ruby received stitches on Tuesday in her leg & was on rimadyl (finished those last nite) & now she's on antibiotics. the problem is she can't go to the bathroom. She is usually like a clock going but hasn't gone since Tuesday. Can anyone suggest what to give her? I know what to do when she goes too much but never had the problem of being constipated. thanks for any dfeedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IrskasMom Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I really don't know , but in that Case , I would call my Vet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieProf Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Me too -- if mine hadn't gone for that long I'd definitely be on the phone with my vet. She might be kind of impacted in there and need some medical intervention.

Guest Downtownhoundz Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 How about canned plain pumpkin, my vet says that helps "move things along". If all else fails, good old fashioned mineral oil! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatterseaBrindl Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I'd check with her vet first, but I have given a small amount of metamucil with no side effects.
