ahoops Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 My older dog Dallas had a large lypoma removed from the base of her tail today .Some skin had to be removed and a bit of realignment had to be done .I imagine that I will need to keep her bowel movements regular and soft. Being an RN I know how to manage this with humans but dont know about dogs .what is the best thing to feed her until she heals up ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiegirl Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Your vet should be giving you this information... In any case, I recently had to give my dog dulcolax after rectal surgery. I would ask your vet though.

BCjetta Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 You could try a bit of canned pumpkin to add fibre to the stools. That would stoften it a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means all dogs I come in contact with end up with soft stools no matter what! Sort of an inside joke, but with all of Woobie's issues, I feel like I'm cursed! All the things people recommend here just made him runnier! So, if your dog gets constipated, I'm your girl!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
