How do you treat constipation in a King Charles Cavalier?

Answer by  davidaaron (103)

When my 8lb poodle is constipated, I give him a tablespoon of olive oil. This is very effective, no need to add it to food, dogs love the taste.

Carrots that are raw are a great source of fiber and can help get things moving again. Also a small amount of apple juice can help with constipation.

Take the dog to the vet and do just what you're told. Do not take matters into your own hand. More people hurst dogs by trying homemade remedies or looking on line. Only the vet can know why your dog is constipated and that is key.

Best to avoid the problem in the first place, rather than having to treat it, do this by adding fibre roughage to your dogs usual diet and mixing in cooked,chopped vegetables, using wholegrain biscuits - in fact the same thing you would do for yourself !
