I've been adding about a tablespoon of organic pumpkin to Pia's food since I noticed her straining every time she needed to have a poo. A week later, this finally seems to have done the trick paired with a higher quality food - as opposed to whatever she'd been given in the shelter.
The only thing that would be a bigger relief than not having a dog straining, and almost falling over, when she goes to the toilet is having a dog that was not suffering from a hacking cough. But I will take what I can get when I can get it. There is truth to the saying that there is nothing as under appreciated as a good poo. It's still vaguely amusing that this is one of the triumphs of the week - a dog that can go to the toilet without the pain of straining like a little a constipated hippo. ------------------------------------ We are now on Facebook!
