My dog got hit by a car and has been on pain pills and was constipated for 2 days. I emptied out a human enema and put warm water in there instead. I took him outside and used it on him and rubbed his belly for a about 3 minutes and he finally pooped. I was so happy!
Where did you buy that at ? How is your dog doing now ?
Good pet parents
@@crisc9929 It was just a human enema but i emptied it out and rinsed it a few times and just put warm water in there instead of what was originally in there. And he's doing good now. He's running around like it never happened so he recovered really well!
@@crisc9929 they have human enemas at Walmart or im sure any drug store.
@@christophersteward5720 smart thinking, you can even add a tablespoon of quality flax seed oil or canola oil, even give a tablespoon for avg/medium size dog teaspoon for smaller dogs by mouth but that might take a few hours or longer especially if motility of bowel is compromised. Unsweetened can or pouch of pumpkin 🎃 purée (no seeds obviously) also works in case of constipation OR diarrhea as well.
I have a tiny 3 pound Yorkie....too cold outside and she didn't go for 4 days....thank you....this immediately helped her and she is finally feeling better
I took my female Australian Shepherd mix regularly to the VET (at least once a year) and followed the vet's advice and she is now 16 and 2 months... that's 112 in people years... she is showing her age, sleeps a lot, needs assistance, requires me to take her outside, requires my assistance to get sometimes, and is showing the signs of a dog the is 16... she still shows a lot of life in her beautiful brown eyes...
Shanghai Road how to calculate dog's age with human age???
Shangai Road maybe you could look into Golden Paste it has tumeric, coconut oil, and cracked pepper google for the amounts of each it should help with flexability...good luck. :)
Pratibha Semi one dog year is equal to seven human years.
Hows ur dog now? I hope shes doing well
Bee Dee Not _quite_ accurate, as a 1 year old dog can have puppies :)
Thank you so much, very informative for us , pet lovers and owners.God bless
Great advice, Thank you
Thank you. Wry kind.
I wish I had read all the comments first. We are currently at the emergency vet with our chihuahua because this video said fleets were safe and recommended.
My dog is also staying overnight at the emergency vet because of the fleet enema. I only used one ounce but animal poison control said that sodium phosphate is toxic to dogs. Fleet enemas should not be used on dogs. My dog had severe vomiting and diarrhea afterwards and her electrolytes are poor and she has low blood pressure. Don’t do it. Talk to your vet. (2023)
Thank you great video
We just got back from vet ourselves with one of our German shepherds. He wasn’t pooping, wasn’t eating, only drank water. Blood work came back normal, X-rays were done because we thought maybe he ate a toy and wasn’t allowing him to poop. X-rays were clear. Pancreas was good too.. and finally after all the vet bills the reason why he wasn’t eating was because he has gas inside his stomach. So we finally got him the right meds and now we are waiting for the turnaround.
what caused the gas ? which meds did you take ? is he pooping fine now ?
@@TL.... not being able to poop, all the gasses were just a build up of him not being able to go bathroom. But eventually he did go after loosing almost 15lbs. Got got meds to help him release his stool and to our surprise he did have half piece of chewy balls. So which is why he wasn’t eating, wasn’t pooping. He is doing okay now and gaining his weight back.
@@Livhoops_24 would you happen to remember the name of the meds to help him release his stool ?
i am having constant problems with my chihuahua for the last 7-8 months and she doesn't poop for 5-6 days at a time and i have to keep going to the vet every week for a follow-up and enemas
i went to a different vet a few days ago on Thursday for a 2nd opinion and of course he told me he has to do everything for a new patient, blood test, examination, x-rays, etc - just spent close to $900 at this other vet
What meds did you give him, my dog had x ray and blood work everything fine but he is struggling to poop! Help me save my dog😢🙏
Awesome information
Thanks Doc
Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏
I read that FLEET is very toxic for dogs and cats, so be careful
My 5 year old female pitty has a very bad habit ot stealing treats and she ate about half of a 60oz box of milkbones including some pieces of cardboard and wound up obstipated about 6 hrs later with a mass about the size of an orange stuck in her rectum it would NOT come out. We tried to soak her in the bathtub and helping her remove it ourselves with gloves and gentle pressure however this did not provide any relief. I tried the fleet enema and yes theyre safe as long as your dog is about 50+ pounds they can prove deadly to small dogs and cats. Unfortunately I was not able to administer the enema as she became snappy from pain and we had to take her to the animal hospital and she required an enema, IV fluids, lactulose, and morphine to pass the mass as the vet could not palpate her colon or manually remove the mass. Im so thankful she has become able to pass stool on her own. It was a very scary and stressful situation for her and I both. You can also supplement their dry food with pure canned pumpkin no sugar added to increase fiber or do Metamucil as this vet recommended.
Thank you so much
Very kind.
Thank you Doctor. You are so helpful and generous in knwledge.
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to discover treatments for constipation try Trentvorty Herbal Protection Theorem (do a google search )?

So kind of you to share this information. Thank you so much.

My dog got constipated all the sudden, I thought it'd work itself out, tried different things, he just got worse and worse over 2-3 days.. By the time I saw it was bad and that he needed to go in, it was hard to find a vet who would see him right away. So we had to wait and wait. I should hv taken him in way sooner. Or at least taken action right after seeing he couldn't potty.
Update: he didn't make it.. and HIS BLADDER WAS BLOCKED UP. I thought he was constipated, he wasn't, his bladder stopped up from crystalization of his urine, turned into almost sand like, swelling his bladder inside him and blocking everything, eventually shutting his kidneys down. It might look like constipation but could be a bladder issue.
Im Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss 😞
Jesus what a painful and slow way to die. Pure torture.
I’m so sorry
I’m so so sorry
My Labrador retriever dog has no testis out side of his body and what would be the problem in future. Now he is 7months old
My little dog got constipated from eating canned kernel corn!
Never use fleet enema meant for humans because of the sodium. Warm distilled or spring water with an enema bag and small nozzle.
why is the sodium bad?
@@ProdByKeys sodium phosphate is toxic to dogs.
Actually he's using and showed an enema that's for humans and it's amount of dosage. I've watched many events give human fleet enemas to a dog
What do I do for a puppy that is 8 hours old with a dead mother??? Shouldn't they poop sometime shortly after birth??? She has not yet, or is that normal and I'm just being paranoid???
I happen to live in a very rural place,...as fr as I know, using whats free and natural is better, than any medicine, unless absolutely neccesary. Pumpkin, from the can is fine. approx. 5.0ml per 10# is about right. It is a DIGESTIVE ENZYME FOR CONSTIPATION. since I also cannot afford $20 a pop kinda vitamins.
my dog won't eat pumpkin
Thank you !
@@mollyoldham6343 put some beef broth in it.
Ya that doesnt work for everyone genius
@@hayleymaclaren301 it isn't rocket science. Pumpkin absolutely will work. There is SOMETHING every dog loves. Whether it's broth. Meat...or if no other way. A syringe and give it orally.
My healer had to have surgery the last time .now he is having the same problem.i had someone hold him so I could to the enema yesterday but it didnt work plus he got really pist off and bit me. Later I came in the house and he ran from me into his house. Then when I wasnt looking he ran out and bit me again then just stood there staring at me all angry. I called the vet so I'm probably going to have to take him in there today I was wondering if a stool softener in might help the last time I said not to give him laxatives or because he's impacted
I have a 4 lb Yorkie that is trying to poop little balls come out but keeps straining to go she eats an drinks water but is having a problem
My German Shepherd has para anal fistula‘s that are fairly bad and has become blocked up
I took her to my vet and he didn’t x-ray and advised that I should give her a Colace but that doesn’t seem to be doing it. Would you advise me giving her an enema as well?
My dog can't poop but can easily pee
Mime is having the same problem
I love how doc said " you need to use your head" lol. Sorry to tell ya doc but common sense is not common.
My dog ate cherries. Xrays show the pits. Vet said he will go in a couple days. Also, not eating.
Do Not use fleet enemas on your dog or cat. They will mess with the animals electrolytes could cause vomiting and other problems. I give my babies pumpkin out of the can when they have trouble. It takes a little bit to work but if your pet is prone to hard dry poops giving pumpkin daily will not hurt them. Give dose depending on animals weight. If you ask google how much pumpkin to give a 12 pound dog or 60 pound dog it will give you the reccomded amount of pumpkin for them.
My puppy 4 months is consipaded has been eating well extresizing. I think she's constipated because I saw in her poo there was hair from her ball human hairs and paper (toilet paper, other types of paper)
Jatziri how did you fix? my doggie having same issue
Headed to the store in the morning it's been a few days since she pooped
What about for puppies?? My litter is only 2 weeks old and even when I stimulate them, they just pee but not pooping
Was mom with them? How they make out? Mom usually eats the poop
Wrong hole
Skip to 0:55. May your pet get healthy soon!
My dog ate a pork bone. And has not pooped but once solid last was runny. Now he just lays there should I give him a laxative
I have a maltipoo who will have puppies around the 17. We notice she is constipated. Any recommendations?
All i have the same breed im located in memphis
I'm in calif but what did u do for constipation
the enema has salt in it.
This comment goes out to everyone my dog was six months old he’s a big dog he’s 100 pounds Catahoula hound dog when he was six months old he swallowed one of those Russell potatoes those small little potatoes long story short he stopped eating drinking became lethargic I had to take him to the vet they did an x-ray they found that the potato has not been digested from his stomach and he got stuck from the ass big intestine to the small intestine he had to have surgery
I heard Fleets is Toxic
You have a phone call!
dear God why will not the poop come out
I k r
Be very careful when your dog is constipated because he can actually have eaten a piece of toy he could have swallowed a rock a small ball anything and with you not taking him to the vet to get an actual x-ray you will kill your dog and x-rays are not that expensive I mean my dogs are my kids so I think the average x-ray is about $75 might even be less but I had it done thank god because if I would’ve just tried all the home remediesAnd not taking him to the vet he would’ve died so if your dog is constipated for more than a week I recommend you go get a simple x-ray if it is just constipation don’t prescribe an enema or medication and he will be back to normal again very important
Xrays where i live are $600 ....where do you live?
A veterinarian suggesting to use a fleet enema which has been documented known and proven to be toxic and literally kill dogs. GREAT ADVICE DOC!!!👍
my dog poop alot he have a problem
This didn't work. Vets wont do anything to help my old lady's parents so they have to have there dog put to sleep so she don't explode. Lost respect for vets over this.
Lots of vets have reputations for greed! And love of the of money wouldnt be surprised if the just let a dog suffer cause they believe " they wont get the astronomical amounts of money to pay the what the Vets charge🤑🤑🤑🤑
You can not give my dog an enema he will bite you in an instant
When I switched to dog food, my dog became constipated.
Man this sucks. My aunts dog was constipated and she thinks that the dog had a ball or something blocking her intestines. Too bad the doctor was careless. She died today.
Metamucil does not cause diarrhea.. 🤦🏻♂️

Hello, I have an 8 week old puppy. He is able to poop, but he cries and looks to be in a lot of pain. He’ll start and then scream, then spin around like something is trying to bite his butt. I have a scheduled appointment, but due to Covid there’s a bit of a wait. Has anyone experience this with their pet? Really appreciate the feedback 💯
Yes I’ve been experiencing the same thing. We feed him pumpkin purée and it got a little better, but we still plan to take him to a vet
@@lehmeghebrihiwot8829 I was feeding him Blueberry Greenies, the dental treats, and I believe that was causing him pain. I stopped feeding them to him and he's fine now. The pumpkin really helped him too, thanks for the help!
Blueberries are poisonous to dogs.
May dog was playing with a sponge toy and now her belly is sow swelling. Please help me with this
She probably swallowed the stuffing so you can only take her to the vet to have it surgically removed
Would red meat added in his dog food cause constipation?
Yes
No, just a firmer stool. Many dogs are fed on raw.
not giving my puppy drugs
Kyle Maddox not giveing my puppy drugs either
Organic olive oil works great, why give dogs drugs
Teresa Horner chase To eat or as and enema
@@sophie29456 to eat
Cool thanks
How much and for how long, should I give olive oil..
This is just an advertisement angry 😠
My dog won't poop and hasn't in 2 days, he got hit by a car and they said he would have trouble pooping but Idk
Sorry
Grape Moan what did you do in your dog when your dog is hit by a car and cant poop is the same with my dog right now
@@jennicaclairesoria8657 how is your dog now ?
From my experience the excellent home remedy is probiotic and its the fast solution & works very well.
What is that ??
Can we give glycerine
@@railwaywalachinku high quality, natural greek yogurt
Is that it. ? go to your vet and feed the dog a different diet. No help whatsoever !
Why can't we have medicine that makes the poop come out?! I mean I know we have medicine for digestive and pain relief, but it doesn't make it come out. DOCTORS GET TO WORK!
Both saposotorys and laxitives do that.
squeeze his butt hole, it helps him shit little by little
GROVETOWN BEAST how do I do that
Isnt that how laxitives and enemas work?
L a x a t i v e s
My dog just died
My love and prayers go out to you Anthony. I'm sure you were a good pet daddy.
So sorry for you😢
Fleet enemas have too much phosphorus. You want to cause more pain and suffering for my poor old girl? Oh, yeah, because then you can get the high fees from overpriced “procedures” and chemicals.
wow, enemas is your ONLY ANSWER? Maybe you should go back again.
What about for puppies?? My litter is only 2 weeks old and even when I stimulate them, they just pee but not pooping
I have a 4 week old Maltese who is doing the exact same thing as well. Bloated and can’t poop only pee. Pls advise.
Anne Alovera did you figure anything out? I have a 4 week old mixed poodle going through the same. 😞
Vanessa Navarro hi so what I did was I continued to help stimulate the puppies by using some coconut oil and warm water on a soft cloth and rubbed it on their anal area until they were able to defecate. I tried adding more water as well to their milk formula and it worked too. Now they are okay and are able to poop and pee well 😊
Does any oil work? I dont have coconut oil in my house
Try olive oil or menial oil.
