    If I were you I would call the vet. Products for humans may be toxic for a dog. I have heard of people giving their dogs canned pumpkin. I guess it is full of fiber, but I do not know how much they gave them. Also you need to make sure that your dog is not eating a lot of bones. I know that these can cause severe constipation. Please do not take this problem lightly. I have heard of dogs dying from this.

    Get it to to the vet immediately. You may be panicking over nothing, but it could be parvo or something else that only prompt treatment will save.

    It is not as urgent to see the vet as the other question, but you shouldn't give the dog anything until at least talking to the vet. Giving a dog with an obstructed bowel a laxative could kill it. I am pleased nobody suggested anything without mentioning checking with the vet. Is your dog prone to eating indigestibles, or do you give it rawhides or consumable chews? They can create blockages.

    I had a constipated dog (he got into the fridge and ate an entire block of cheddar) so I took some bran (like you'd use for bran muffins) and mixed it with warm water to a mash consistency and fed it to Riggs. About 20-30 minutes later he was having a movement in the yard. Be sure to give him plenty of lukewarm not cold water because he could be or become dehydratred. He will also need plenty of exercise to keep his body stimulated. Listen to Labman though because he's the experienced guy.

    Take it to a fire works show. Last night I took my dog to the park and she peed in the middle of the side walk then took a big crap after a few went off at once. I had to go home and carry her then run down my street with her pulling me. It worked though lol
