Why is my dog's stomach hard and she's constipated but playful?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Custard. If she does not defecate by morning, the. She needs to see her veterinarian again. She may be constipated, but she could also be experiencing another problem such as back pain. If so, this requires different treatment. In the meantime, keep her quiet. Do not give any over-the-counter pain medications as these can be toxic to dogs. I hope this information helps!

The tightness of the belly indicates that he is in pain. This can be due to constipation, but can also be due to diseases of the intestines or other organs (i.e. liver) in the abdomen.

No worries. If she did overeat, she will pass it likely on her own. As long as she is still playful, let he go about her normal activity and then perhaps give her only a portion of her normal amount of food at the next feeding, to ensure she doesn't become constipated. Her stomach should go back to normal soon. Best of luck with your fur baby Nyla moving forward. Take care!

Hello, thank you for your question about Snowie. The symptoms that you are describing could be signs of GI upset secondary to ingesting foreign material such as leaves, table scraps, or a new dog food. If Snowie is otherwise acting ok you can continue to monitor her and could offer her a bland diet such as boiled chicken/hamburger and white rice. If Snowie’s symptoms due not resolve or she becomes lethargic, inappetance, or starts vomiting I would recommend having her seen by a veterinarian. This could be a sign of something more serious such as foreign body obstruction, pancreatitis, etc. Hope this helps, good luck!

Poor Betty! The constipation may b the cause of her discomfort or may be a symptom of another condition which is slowing down her bowel or causing dehydration. I recommend a full check p by your vet, they may wish to do an abdominal xray or ultrasound to identify any underlying factors and give an enema if appropriate alongside oral laxatives as long as no obstruction is identified

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You can add about 1 tablespoon of canned pumpkin to his meals which may help with constipation. If that does not help, I recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They can at that point check on that and recommend therapy accordingly. This would be especially important since he is having trouble seating which may be seen with discomfort for example. Best of luck!

If she is not crying or moaning than it doesn't sound like she is suffering. Try to keep her comfortable for the night but if she starts to seem distressed than she should be examined by a vet. You could take her to an emergency clinic for an x-ray and tretament. Hope she feels better soon!
