anniejac Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 My Staffy has been constipated today, she can't pass a stool, keeps straining but I can see it. It is Sunday night and I don't know if she will be okay till Vets open in the morning ,can anyone help with what I could do. I gave her a Glyserine Suppository but it did not help.

persephone Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 do you have any plain laundry velvet soap?? Cut a piece off -- a bit longer than the Glycerin supp. wet it to soften it a bit.. dunk it in some olive oil, and try and insert it alongside the stool.... it can help lubricate- where glycerin is more an irritant..to get the muscles moving :D Hope she's not in too much discomfort for the night Paraffin oil by mouth--- ,otherwise anything you give her to eat will just have to try and get thru.... I feel it will make her more 'full' and uncomfortable. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is six and I have never had this problem with her, she had nothing unusual to eat, so I can't work out why she is so constipated.' She had a raw chuck bone the day before, these have never be a problem before. So fingers crossed the enema will do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
