Hi everyone - Buddy is constipated. I just noticed it this morning. Last nite, he went out to poop, and he took longer than normal. This morning was the same thing. Except this time, it was still daylight outside, so I could see that he tried, but nothing came out.
He doesn't eat people food. I walk him every nite. He's caught up on all of his shots. Does anyone have any thoughts on why he is constipated? Nothing abnormal has happened that I know about.
My neighbor said to give him pumpkin, but he just sniffed it and walked away. I called the vet and she told me that if pumpkin didn't work, to try scrambled eggs. But he threw those up about twenty minutes after eating them. I already scheduled an appointment with the vet for tomorrow morning, but I was just wondering if anyone knew of any other tricks or home remedies I can use on him.
Pumpkin didn't work. Scrambled eggs didn't work. I looked on the internet to see if I can find anything. THis site about dog constipation says you can give him Grape Nuts Flakes, which I assume is for the added fiber??? maybe. Does that sound right? safe? legit? I also heard that you can give your dog a small amount of olive oil mixed with warm milk. Has anyone ever tried one of these tricks?
I don't have grape nuts flakes, but I have corn flakes. Do you think that will work the same? I always heard grapes were bad for dogs. AWWHHHH, I'm so confused and worried about him.
I'm going to take him to the vet regardless, but if anyone can tell me of any tips or remedies that they have used, that they know is SAFE and effective. Please let me know. Thank you sooooo soooo much!
