Today, I had to help my constipated dog by squeezing crap out of her butt. This is a daily occurrence. FML
cheekychimp23 tells us more.
Just so people know I'm not a terrible dog owner - we have been to the vet numerous times and they told me it happens because her tail was docked too short when she was a puppy! I feed her oil but sadly it does not help. Sigh. Keep squeezing I guess. FML.

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

You may need to change the dog food you are feeding her. Just a suggestion. It isn't right she should have that problem.

Dogs and cats tails are part of their spinal cord. When it is docked too short, the spinal cord became a bit mutated and can put pressure on the rectum, making it hard to poop. My cat is a manx so she naturally has to tail. Because on that her rectum is deformed and I have to help her poop sometimes. Two vets have told me that.

You should probably change your dog's diet.

Change the VET! Tails have NOTHING to do with their digestive system. You're only hurting the dog by squeezing the poop out! Give the dog myralax it's safe and will more ALOT more comfortable for both of you.

You obviously don't know much about dogs if you think the tail has nothing to do with its digestive system

My dog was really badly constipated a lot but then we changed her diet. If you feed your dog applesauce, smushed green beans, or smushed cooked carrots once a day it should get a lot better ! Hope you're doggy feels better

Dear OP, I've worked with dogs for years, the best thing I've found is adding a small amount of mineral oil to the food every day. But Also try a better quality food (try something with meat high on the list and nothing that says by products of any kind) Walmart sells some food called "Balance", it is very good quality for the price. Encourage our dog to drink more fluids by giving it a chicken or beef broth ice cube now and then as a treat, or even add some water over the dry food. Most dogs really love water on dry food and it's less rich and cheaper than canned dog food. Good luck! Hope your dog is pooping well soon! -Kae

Least you don't have to crawl inside a elephants butt to clean it out. I hate watching discovery channel.
