The main reasons why dogs don’t poop are as follows: First, constipation. If a dog is constipated, it will not be able to poop, and some may also suffer from grunting, howling in pain, vomiting, etc. Second, the dog’s food intake is insufficient. If the dog’s food intake is insufficient, less feces will be produced, and the dog will naturally not poop. Third, after changing to a new environment, dogs usually feel scared and uncomfortable, so they will hold back. Fourth, intestinal blockage. If the dog accidentally eats bones, stones and other foreign objects, causing intestinal blockage, symptoms such as vomiting, inability to defecate or painful defecation, and abdominal distension will occur.

1. Constipation

Dogs not pooping are usually caused by constipation. In addition to not pooping, dogs with constipation may also suffer from irritability, howling in pain, listlessness, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, vomiting, etc. In severe cases, they may also suffer from hind limb spasms. Therefore, when the owner finds that the dog has not excreted for a long time, he must take appropriate measures. If there is only mild constipation, you can give your dog some probiotics orally to adjust the intestinal environment. If your dog's constipation is severe, you need to give your dog oral laxatives, stool softeners, or anal instillation of Kailuo to promote the discharge of feces.

2. Insufficient food intake

What needs to be made clear is that dogs will only defecate after eating enough food. If your dog has not eaten for a long time, he will not poop because he has not eaten. In this case, it is recommended to feed the dog the food it likes to eat. If your dog has a loss of appetite, it is recommended to seek medical advice promptly.

3. Changed to a new environment

Some dogs will hold back when they feel scared and uncomfortable in a new environment. If this is the case, you can take your dog out for more walks, and the dog will naturally poop after it relaxes.

4. Intestinal blockage

In addition, the dog's inability to poop may also be caused by intestinal blockage due to the accidental ingestion of bones, stones and other foreign objects. It is recommended to take the dog to the pet hospital for a DR examination in time. The examination can determine whether the dog has eaten foreign objects and the location of the foreign objects. If it is clear that the dog has eaten a foreign object, surgery is generally required to remove the foreign object from the intestines.
