What if the dog doesn't defecate?

First of all, you can lean down and carefully check its defecation position, whether it is blocked by dry and hard shit, not too dirty and smelly. You can put on gloves and dig this shit out, and the problem will be solved.

If your dog is constipated for a long time and can't be cured for a long time, I suggest you take it to a pet hospital for a general examination to find out what disease is causing it. Don't abuse drugs at home for it.

Everyone must know the symptoms of constipation in dogs. The most obvious thing is that the frequency of defecation has plummeted and the interval has become very long. In addition, there is another situation, although the frequency is normal, it is difficult to defecate, and the dog's feces are extremely dry and hard, accompanied by loss of appetite. The small abdomen is always bulging like a small balloon, and in severe cases, the hind limbs will spasm. Generally a normal dog will be excreted after digestion and absorption. The whole process lasts 1 to 2 days, and the interval between defecation is usually about 8 to 28 hours. These are the defecation intervals of normal dogs. If your dog has not defecated for more than 48 hours, it can be regarded as constipation.

Dogs' inability to defecate is also related to their defecation habits, diet structure and living habits. Some dogs are used to defecating once every two days, and defecation is painless. It is normal for feces to be properly moist, and it is quite relaxed and lively after defecation, and there are no symptoms of physical weakness. This is normal and does not belong to the discussion of constipation.

In order to prevent constipation, you usually need to do the following:

1, let dogs eat less animal viscera and meat, and don't feed a certain brand of dog food for a long time.

2. Drink plenty of water, eat some fruits and vegetables rich in plant fiber, and eat some grass occasionally.

3, pay attention to physical changes, mild obesity, can increase exercise and increase consumption.

4, eat less livestock bones, otherwise the stool will dry.

If you take your dog to travel to a new scenic spot, you'd better have a rest first.

6. When the dog defecates, don't disturb it, and the surrounding environment needs to be quiet.

7. For elderly dogs, it is more necessary to do the above.

1, diet therapy for constipation: honey is undoubtedly the first choice, but it should be moderate, too much will lead dogs to the other extreme, that is, frequent diarrhea. You can crush vegetables and fruits, then drop honey into them and mix them with dog food for dogs to eat. The effect is quite good.

2, the famous "Kaisailu": Because it is an external medicine, you don't have to worry about causing harm to dogs. The lubricating and stimulating effect of Kaisailu on intestinal tract can be described as "magic", which is unparalleled so far, making dogs defecate smoothly.
