Treating simple constipation

These treatment options are for simple constipation only. If the problem lasts for more than five days, or if the stool contains large amounts or mucous or blood, consult with your veterinarian before beginning any treatment.

Use a stool softener. A simple, isolated episode can be treated with a stool softener such as Laxatone, which you can buy at one of the giant pet warehouses, or DSS capsules, which come from your veterinarian. Read and follow the label directions carefully to be sure you do not overdose your dog.

Lubricate. An old remedy for lubricating the colon that is still in use today is mineral oil. Veterinarians usually advise mixing it in with food rather than feeding raw. Be sure and follow dosage instructions to the letter to avoid further complications.

Change his diet. Try adding fiber to your dog's food. Fiber is not absorbed by the dog's digestive tract and continues on to the colon where it adds to the volume of stool. This increased volume transmits strong sensory stimulation to the colon, encouraging it to void. You can buy a special prescription high fiber diet such as Hill's W/D diet that will result in better colon motility. If your dog won't eat the special food, you can still add fiber to his diet in the form of:

* Bran cereal (Make sure it is a 100% bran cereal)
* Canned pumpkin (Pure pumpkin, not pie filling)
* Metamucil, Benefiber, or a similar product

Your veterinarian will recommend the necessary dosage for your dog.
