Constipation happens when a pet struggles to pass stool or has infrequent, hard, and dry bowel movements. It is often caused by not enough fiber, water, or exercise. If not treated, constipation can lead to serious health issues.

⚠️ Signs

• Straining to pass stool
• Infrequent or small bowel movements
• Hard, dry stools
• Pain or discomfort when trying to poop
• Licking or chewing at the rear
• Loss of appetite or feeling tired
• Stomach bloating or discomfort

🏥 What To Do

• Make sure your pet drinks water: Fresh water helps soften stool.
• Encourage exercise: Regular movement can help your pet’s bowels work better.
• Add fiber: Add a little plain pumpkin (not the spiced pie mix) or a fiber supplement recommended by your vet.
• Check for blockages: If your pet is in pain or straining, contact a vet to check for blockages.
• Track bowel movements: If the issue continues, let the vet know
