Guest Downtownhoundz Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 My boy,Bunny is 7 years old and has started having kind of "poop" issues. How can I get him to have a "clean drop" when he goes? Most of the time lately I have to grab him when he comes back in and (pardon me) clean his butt, otherwise I'll have a piece of poop in the house and or on my bed! Am I the ONLY one with this weird issue ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alannamac Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hmm.....only had this issue if there was a hair or piece of grass in the poop so it sort of dangled. I hope someone here has some suggestions for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeofNE Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 That's not normal. Might be a good idea to take him in for a quick checkup. He could have an anal gland problem or something. Is his poop formed well? Easy to pick up? What are you feeding him? Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav.

She said mik or pumpkin would help move things along.I definitely can't give him any of those pigskin chews that really gets him backed up. I have to keep switching around kibble because he only wants whatever I EAT ! I have to sit with him now so he will eat his kibble with milk otherwise he'll follow me. I never thought of an anal glad problem though, guess it's back to the vet for a spot check! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfish Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'd also get the vet to check for back or hip problems. Does he squat properly, or does he seem reluctant? Do his legs shake at all? I've seen this happen with Sid occasionally when his back or his hind leg is playing up a bit. He doesn't want to stay squatting quite long enough and gets up too quickly.

Guest Downtownhoundz Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I would go with pumkin before milk..... I would go with pumkin before milk..... Good luck! I think I agree with that.....milk is getting too expensive! Haven't tried pumpkin yet, but am going to give it a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lbooras Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Pumpkin is good or yogurt/cottage cheese. They have pro-biotics that help keep things clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
