Constipated Dog

Question
I am starting to have a problem with my older male Sibeian Husky who is 13yrs. In the past few days I have noticed that he seams to be constipated and would like to know what I can give him or do for him.  I have him on Rimadyl 100 mg, giving him half (50mg) once a day.

Answer
Hi Dave,
   You can try giving him some canned pumpkin this sometimes helps them with constipation. Buy a can from the grocery store. Make sure he is drinking enough water also, that can help with constipation. I would call you regular vet. on Monday though to ask if the Rimadyl could be causing constipation. Take care and good luck.
