Problems like that should NEVER wait for responses from posters on the internet. This is a life and death emergency. If a dog has chronic constipation problems; they aren't getting enough fiber, water and exercise as they all need. Oil works faster and is easier than exercising the dog but it really isn't healthy to do. You can add a little cooked oatmeal or oat fiber to your dog's food daily if they have routine problems. You walking the dog for at least an hour a day on a very regular schedule is also imperative.

It has saved me many vet bills. I have tried giving it to her on a spoon, but she wont take it so this has been the best method for me. As far as not eating or drinking the vet told me they sometimes go thru phases where they wont eat or drink and it is normal but if it has been a week or longer, schedule a vet visit.

Not going potty is a concern but not eating or drinking should be your first worry. Go see your veterinarian.

Contact It seems to me that the dog not eating or drinking should be the primary concern here, not whether he's going to the bathroom or not. A trip to the vet seems in order.

So, what makes you believe your dog needs a laxative. I would take him to a vet as there maybe something and he could have other issues. Posted on 04/06/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
