I need your help..please
Submitted by Kathie and The Gang on May 7, 2012 - 9:12pmAll of my dogs are on the same food..just different amounts.. it is not on the recall list. This is the first time I have had a problem with one of my dogs being constipated. My German Shepherd strained last night like he was trying to poop and I actually thought he did. It was dark and I didn't have my flashlight. I marked the area and went to pick it up this morning, nothing there. I walked him this morning and almost the same thing. He was in position to poop and kept walking around like that for about 5 minutes.. The only thing he did was a 2" poop. He wasn't hard, it was kind of soft but held shape.. I know this is gross but I am worried about him. He hasn't gone yet. Now I think he has a temp. I just gave him a Keflex 500mg. I will get him to the vet in the morning. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Then in addition to that my Great Pyrenees, Harley, has really bad orangy diarrhea which I can take care of. Thank God my Bullie baby, Slugger has a cast iron stomach and is doing fine and dandy. I'm just worried about my German Shepherd, Bentley.
Not to frighten you, but I would already be at the vet.
That could be a blockage or even bloat. Do not let it go overnight if at all possible Kathie, get him to a vet as soon as you can.

constipation.
fluids lots of fluid.....no solid food....give him so flavord water....constipation is some times the lack of water....as long as he is not vomiting,,,,not to scare you are you sure the two of them didnt eat a toy...blockage???? what toy could be orange??? just thoughts ok
i agree, vet asap.. just to be safe...
sounds like they ate something crazy when you weren't looking maybe? straining is bad. fever is bad. see if his gums look pale too... vet asap.. keep us posted!
