InspectorRex Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 (edited) Hi My girl went off her tucker earlier in the week but is now eating. She has not had a poo since late Wednesday night. Vet has done prelimary xrays and has given her an enema today but she still hasn't poo'ed. If she hasn't had a poo by tomorrow she has to go back to Vet Ideas to get her pooing asap would be greatly appreciated. She is feed part Barf and part Bonnie Complete Edited January 8, 2006 by InspectorRex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tramissa Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Feed her a meal of PAL. If there's no blockage then it should all come straight out. Hopefully the enema will work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ish Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Mix some paraffin oil from the supermarket with some canned food (don't give the oil into their mouths, if it gets in their lungs = big trouble) and keep your fingers crossed The vet gave me some little tubes of stuff that had to be squirted up their bottom :rolleyes: when Tiger had some issues after eating too much bone. Once it was in, you had to try not to let them attempt to poop for as long as possible (I crated her) while it softened the poop - this did the trick for her. Goodluck!

Tilly Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 A tin of pal usually is the quickest and easiest way to get the dog going - it always goes straight through our boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspectorRex Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 oh No not using Pal. She had a microlax enema at the Vet about 5pm. The up side is she has her appetite back and had a full meal tonight and just had another plate full , with another dose of parafin oil added to it.I also gave her a couple of pieces of licorice , hey it works in Humans and I rang my Vet and said it can't hurt but may just help. I suppose I am over stressing as I lost a dog last year with inflammatory bowel disease and I don't want anything happening to this baby(14mth old) As to who she isn't pooing as per usual- I don't know, however she did have a severe bout of Campylobacter food poisoning( confirmed by faecal analysis at Lab.) in November and I do know that in Humans that can upset the bowel etc for many months afterwards( both my Vet and my sister have had that type of food poisoning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ish Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 The vet suggested to me to feed tinned food - if its just a once off and does the trick I don't know why you wouldn't give it a shot. Its also nice and soft if they're feeling a bit uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspectorRex Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 She was offered tinned food and turned her nose up at it and walked away as if to say" I am not eating that muck!". Still no poo this morning- we see our Vet again at 10.30am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiffanyAmber Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Coloxly Tablets. Those orange ones. The vet will probably give you some today. I have some on stand by for my Trixie as she suffers from constipation often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 :rolleyes: probably superfluous..BUT not all material which can cause a blockage shows on Xray. Organic things like cork dont...... I wil always now ask for barium xrays to save time wasted waiting around for enemas etc to work........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspectorRex Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 Update; she has had the barium x-rays and all is moving okay and has reached the colon. Vet gave her one colxyl tablet and I have to give a Colxyl and Senna tab mid afternoon. Rectal thermometer had heaps of soft faeces on it so she will go and hopefully soon. She is getting a nice steamed veg and chicken lunch and tea today If she hasn't gone by tomorrow he will give a full enema under anesthetic Hope it doesn't come to that though So all send the "poo fairy" thoughts our way Please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tramissa Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I also wouldn't be feeding her until she goes - what goes in must come out y'know - and if it ain't coming out but is still going in.... well, you get the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspectorRex Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 UPDATE 12.15PM 8.1.06: Yipee, the poor girl finally had a Poo!! never been so happy to see a dog poo before :rolleyes: Yes it was a big,sloppy one but we knew it would be with all the parafin oil etc she has had over the ;ast day or so.

zayda_asher Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Oh yuck, sounds like a nice poo :rolleyes: :cool: Glad she's done it for you though I little bit of mashed pumkin will also work if you have to do this again... like the flax seed though, not too much or it will go the other way.

dogbesotted Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 (edited) dont ya just love dog talk...it is surely only on dog lists that "poo" can be discused in such detail and with such celebration not not be perverted. LOLs. glad to hear the poo fairy visited ed. spelling again Edited January 8, 2006 by dogbesotted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspectorRex Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 Yes we are glad the "poo fairy" has been too I was so excited and when I phoned our Vet to tell him he was rapt too. He praised me for being so vigliant as an owner and for not thinking"oh well she will go eventually" as quite a few owners do. If my dogs go off their tucker it is usually for a genuine reason.
