Do dogs become constipated?

If the dog’s food is dry and its drinking water is reduced, it can easily lead to constipation. The dog will frequently squat to defecate, but no feces is passed out. Some dogs may howl in pain. At this time, the owner needs to provide the dog with enough drinking water, as well as drugs containing glycerin and other ingredients to lubricate the gastrointestinal tract and help the excrement be discharged. In more severe cases, it is necessary to use Kaiselu on the anus for treatment.
