The most common cause of constipation for in-house pets is an incorrect diet. A lack of fiber (and sometimes excessive fiber) can be a problem as well as indigestible bones which can be swallowed and produce a cork-like blockage in the digestive tract.
Other causes of constipation include worm infestation, lack of exercise and furballs (in cats). Symptoms of bladder infections (such as straining) can also sometimes be mistaken for constipation.
Constipation can lead to a build up of toxins, which can cause numerous health problems.
Symptoms of Constipation in Cats and Dogs:
- Straining to have a bowel movement with no result
- Abdominal discomfort
- Loss of Appetite
- Bloating
- Going for long periods between bowel movements
- Hard, impacted stools
Diet is the key element in the treatment and prevention of constipation. Use herbal remedies and dietary supplements that are specifically aimed at maintaining bowel and digestive health, reduce reliance on dried and processed food, provide lots of fresh water and include roughage and fiber in your pet's diet to help prevent and treat constipation effectively and naturally.
