My dog hasn't had a bm in 4-5 days.
I bought a couple dehydrated..somethings for them to chew on and keep them busy. Since then, all 3 dogs have had bowel problems.
After 2 days of no BMs.. I gave them all 2 capsules of
Oxypowder ..LOL. Hey, gotta do what you gotta do. I split open the capsules and mixed it with a bowl of water and a spoonful of turkey to make it flavored.
dog#1 is the biggest - Her stools just came out kind of soft.
dog#2 is smaller and had the classic
Oxypowder ButtPee.
These 2 actually had the bowel movements at the same time. If anyone is curious - it took about 8hrs to go through them.
Dog#3.. is a few pounds/inches smaller than dog#2. Oxy didn't do anything for him and he has had Oxy 2 days in a row now.
The only thing I did different is that on the 2nd day of
Oxypowder .. I gave him the actual capsules instead of splitting them open and mixing it with watery food.
He's acting fine otherwise other than obviously a little sluggish/lazier but that's to be expected when you have 4+ days worth of fecal junk in you.
I have exercised him, made him walk after eating(I know what triggers Oxypowder when I take it!)..lots of fluids..lots of exercise..and nothing! I stuck a lubricated cotton swab up his butt..it came out clean. So there's no brick forming at the end of the hole.
He's drinking plenty and the only thing it's doing is making him pee clear. It's coming out the wrong hole.. lol
Any suggestions? I was thinking of giving maybe a spoonful of senna tea...
I rather not call a vet just yet. Plus, it's 10:25PM right now and I'm hoping for something to clean him out in the morning.
