Has anyone experienced a constipated dog? My Max has acted like he has to go all day long but he isn't.

Try a little canned pumpkin (not the pie filling). If high in fiber and can help with constipation.

We'll after using canned pumpkin puree on Sunday, max was still not himself. I took him to the vet monday morning and he had crystals in his uretha and an enlarged prostrate(spell check) He had to be neutured and they tried to get the crystals out. He came home Friday with staples in his belly. what I thought was a constipation problem was really his inability to urinate. It's a good thing I am in tune to my animals.
