Hi all
My little man Oliver who is 3 lbs soaking wet and 10 mo. old is have a bowel problem. He seems to be struggeling. He gets dry food for breakfast and lunch and for din din he gets about 1/2 tablespoon of wet food. I have tried fish oil with no avail. Anybody have the same problem?
Thanks in advance

Dogs are like people: fiber gets everything moving. Try giving him a couple kidney beans with his meal, or some carrots, apple bits, etc. Pumpkin should also work since it has fiber.
