She's about 3 months old and she pees all the time. The vet checked her out friday and didnt see anything wrong with her. Is there anything that can be done or given to her to help her poop?
Answers:
Call your vet back and tell him.
well, she COULD be constipated...
That vet must suck.Give it a couple days though.If still no results bring it to a better vet.
I have had puppies not go for up to a week, and never had problems. Your puppy may just be adjusting to her new home, and possibly had a specific place she liked to poop. For example, she pooped on paper before and now she is being let outdoors. Or she was let outdoors and you are trying potty pads. Something just simple as that. So give her some time, but if she doesn't poop within a week get back to the vet to get a stool softener. Good luck!
canned pumpkin lots of fresh water and good long walk
Sorry but your vet sounds rubbish!
if the dog has not done no.2 then you could try little bit of codliver oil but you would have to check with the vet. He should have given you something to help the dog if he/she goes to long it will end up in agony trying to do it.
There are certain signs which can alert you to potential problems, and for which you can take immediate steps. Long hair on dogs can cause feces to become entangled; therefore, keep your dog properly groomed. Dogs tend to eat everything in sight, ensure no bones or other material has been ingested. Just as we experience constipation due to certain medications, dogs are no exception. Psychological stress is another indicator relating to constipation.
While it has been suggested that all breeds and dogs of any age are prone to constipation, there are other aspects which you may need to consider, and for which many dog owners are culpable. Never feed your dog from the dinner table. While you may indulge the dog with a few scraps here and there, you are contributing to his constipation.
Foods that contain flour, sugar, rice, dairy and high protein are the main source of the problem. Ice cream, cookies, bread, chocolate, or other unhealthy food items can cause your dog unnecessary pain. As mentioned earlier, a lack of fiber and dehydration are common causes. Another cause for concern would be a condition known as mega colon. This simply means your dog has an inflamed colon which prevents the discharge of feces.
method to soften the stool would be to add psyllium (Metamucil in the adult world) to his diet. Half a teaspoon twice a day, in addition to drinking plenty of water, will suffice. A third option would be mineral oil. This may be used in cases where there is a large build-up of hard stool. Two teaspoons, twice a day should be added to his meal, but for only a week. There are several other steps you can take to alleviate your dog's constipation. Keep his food moist by adding a bit of water. If your dog is getting on in years, add some raw meat and vegetables to his diet.
By now you two are bonding. You may try taking your puppy out side to play and run around. this may get the bowels moving. When Our Boxer was a puppy we took him out to potty and told him PEE or POOP as he got older he went on command. Good Dog. This hint was brought to you in memory of ANDY.
Hide prunes in her food It helped my puppy!
