can dogs poop
When a person reaches old age, the various organs of the body begin to degenerate, and the digestive ability will weaken, causing constipation and inability to pull out feces. Of course, dogs are no exception. If the pet owner does not pay attention to feeding the old dog and takes good care of them scientifically and rationally, the old dog will easily poop. In this regard, pet owners may wish to feed senior dogs according to the following methods to solve the constipation problem and allow the dog to stay with them for a longer period of time.
- Adjust the diet structure.
As the dog gets older, his teeth begin to degenerate and fall off, he can't chew dry and hard food, and the dog food can't chew well, basically, he swallows it whole, which increases the burden of digestion and causes difficulty in defecation. It is recommended that pet owners change dog food into liquid food, such as millet porridge, minced meat porridge, vegetable porridge, etc., and at the same time reduce the intake of meat and animal liver, and drink more water for old dogs to prevent constipation. Eat more vegetables and fruits, increase vitamins and cellulose, and help the intestines better digest food and excrete feces.
- Shipping fee.
The old dog is getting old, and the peristalsis of the intestines is weakened, and there is no way to digest the food well, and naturally it can't pull the feces. It is recommended that pet owners feed probiotics to Wang Sutong and other dogs to supplement the beneficial bacteria in the intestines, increase peristalsis, and help old dogs digest food better. If you feed it with honey water and yogurt, the effect will be better, and the dog will be more acceptable.
Three, go out and exercise.
Due to skeletal muscle atrophy, the dog is no longer as active as before, jumping up and down, most of the time, they stay at home and lie down, and they don't exercise much when they go out. Some pet owners, because they love dogs, are afraid that too much exercise will cause joint problems for dogs, and they dare not play with dogs often. However, this is wrong. Old dogs who have not exercised for a long time are more prone to constipation. Therefore, pet owners need to take their dogs out for exercise regularly to increase activity, promote intestinal peristalsis, and avoid constipation.
- Use Kaisailu.
If the above methods are ineffective, and the dog has not defecated for several days, the pet owner should be sent to the hospital for examination in time, and use Kaisailu under the guidance of a veterinarian. Be careful not to hurt the dog, and don't let the dog become dependent and unwilling to defecate.
