Big Paws Only Dog Forums

He's a svelt 67 lbs.  He's the baby but he's our biggest.  I'm using the capsules and only gave him one so far stuffed in a piece of hotdog.  I'll get the oil though if he doesn't get some relief soon.

Thanks for all the advice.  I thought of prunes but bulldogs bodies tend to reject some things moreso than most breeds and I don't want to give him worse gas pains than he's already having.

He JUST had his checkup two weeks ago and all was good.  I did call the vet and made another appointment but I just hate seeing him so miserable until the vet can see him.

The luke warm tub does not sound weird at all and as a matter of fact, I tried it lastnight.  He loves the water but I could barely keep his hiney in it.

We've been raising bullies for just over 3 years (Alice was our first) and I thought I had dealt with everything just about but they are always coming up with something new.  In general, all 3 of my bulldogs are in great health.  At first, I thought it was his ingrown tail giving him some discomfort.  I stay on top of the wrinkles and that tail to avoid this kind of thing.  But yesterday, I realized he couldn't poop.  We've dealt with the runs a couple of times and now we're dealing with constipation.. ...poor Cheeto is just realllllly uncomfortable with this. 

I tried the fish oil, we'll see if that helps the poor lil guy.  How long does it normally take to help?
