Constipated Rescue Puppy
I've recently adopted a new puppy (12 weeks old) from our local rescue
shelter. She's been fine, with no problems eating, etc, and she gets on fine with my other pets and has had all her shots. Yesterday she managed to get into the food bag, after she'd already been fed, and ate a good deal before my roomate was able to get her away from it. She was bloated and constipated after, which I can understand because - hey, if I ate twice as much as I was supposed to, or more, I would be too. What I'm wondering is - should I worry? This is only my second dog, and the first (now 8 months) I never had this experience with. |

Constipated Rescue Puppy
"Bette" said in rec.pets.dogs.health:
What I'm wondering is - should I worry? This happened to me once, except the dog was older - about 5 years old. The first thing I did was take up the water dish so that he wouldn't drink and swell an already very tight belly. Luckily, he threw up within the hour. If you have any concerns, give your vet a call and he can probably advise you over the phone. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |
