Hello, I have worked for a Veterinarian for over 27 years. Please do not ever give your dog/cat anything over the counter unless your Vet says too. Doing this can be dangerous to the health of your animal.

First,make sure your dog isn't impacted (feces "stuck"high in the colon). You may want the vet to do this via x-ray. A digital rectal (finger inserted into rectum) will not go "high" enough to check for an impaction. But for just a day by day constipation, Mom is ok.
