thanks for that every one

thanks for the support ethan collapsed over the weekend so had to take to vet where he was givewn an enema but it appears that was not the problem he had basically just given up it appears the injury to his front leg was not as simple as the vet thought his kidneys started to shut down late last night and he had to be put down at 9.00 am this morning

And here is the funniest now he appears to be constipated I cant seem to win the vet claimed the previcox would loosen him up so advised to cut his fibre intake so he would not get diarrearh and now he is blocked up the only thing i have done was to cut his oil intake down from every second day to every third and stopped giving him sardines every second day while on the previcox and kept him on his normal diet of vegies and dry kibble cant win help

No he hasnt had that done will be getting it done at his next visit in two weeks His diet is high in fibre and I was advised not to increase it by the vet as it could cause him to have diarreahr with the previcox which he is now back on again(had him back to the vet in the afternoon)

yes thats the thing he does go outside and he does sit to poop when he is outside thats why i have found it odd. He is a fairly active dog who comes and goes in and out when he wants(usually its me getting him to rest thats how active he is)

but thats the weirdest part it only happens when he comes back in from going out to go to the toilet he spends about half an hour out then comes in and then it happens and then it does not happen again for a while goes normally for the rest of the day then the next day then day after then he will do it again day after that over the 3 week period it has happend approx six times now so really confused as not sure whether it is the previcox or not having the previcox or something else as there is no pattern and is very inconsistent

Yeah researched it before giving it to him his rear end seems to be fine no stiffness or any thing that I have noticed just seems like he is doing on purpose sometimes as it is not very constant very intermittent as it only happens when he is comes back in after going outside to the toilet where he pees and sits out there for a while then decides he wants to come back in so comes in then will sit for a minute then walk towards you doing it and continue on his way he does not lower himself in any way as I watched him this morning when he did it it just seems to drop out with out him seeming to be aware of it the last time he did it was two days ago same thing so not sure if it is on purpose or is an accident or if it is because of his age altho noticed this morning he seems to have a lot of flatulence more than he normally has could he have an upset stomach or ? I know when he was younger if he was upset with you he would deliberatley go to the toilet in the house to get your attention but he has been getting the same amount of attention he normally gets I am not sure if he thinks he has gone to the toilet when he is outside or what as apart from the intermittence of it there does not seem to be anything else wrong with him that I have noticed I first thought it was a side affect of the previcox but it is only happening when the vet is taking him of it for a day or so as it was only prescribed for an injury he caused his front paw and not his rear end but i dont use it every day I am only to use it every second day when he over stresses his front paws so that he relaxes and does not move around to much and I stopped the use of it last friday after his last visit to the vet to say that he was fine(he slipped over in the kitchen and hit a cupboard door with his left front leg and bruised his joint and the vet said the previcox was for the pain relief he was running to his bowl for his food as i opened a cupboard door)

My male rottie 10yrs old has suddenly started to lose bowel control it is not constant his stools are quite firm and he seems to wait until you bring him back in side but the thing about it is he does not seem to realise that he has done it he comes back in sits down then gets up and walks toward you and lets go but does not realise he has done it. They are quite firm basically his usuall. Am at wits end about what is going on as it is not all the time it can happen one day then wont happen again for days even up to a week has been happening for only the last three weeks and has happened about five times in this period his diet has not changed was on previcox but had no accidents while on it only happens when he has not had it for a coupl of days (my vet said he might get diearreah) scuse spelling but was not the case so has had him on and off the previcox over the last two months for a week to two week periods at a time but the movements have only started in the last three weeks vet does not seem to know what it is any one have some suggestions about what it is?
