Springer spaniel "bungled up "

[rec-baller]

I took my 4 yr old springer spaniel bitch for a walk yesterday, we went across some fields where she seemed to eat a lot of grass from the verges- something she always seems to do -

Today she doesn't seem to want to pass any stools ( poo) she has eaten and drunk water as normal , but won't poo !!

Anybody got any ideas of how to unblock her ?? If I need to I,ll take her too the vets

Just keep an eye on her she might have eaten the grass to try and sick up a blockage like a bone fragment. I cant recommend rooting around for the grass even with gloves on. Speak to a vet if you have concerns but it happens to us as well face it, some days we don't poop! I should just observe personally

Is she trying to?

Went to the vets and got her checked out. Got some unbunging medicine, now need black bin bags not poo bags for the next few days !

Try tuna in sunflower oil with boiled rice always seems to loosen my dog up when he's a bit compacted. Heard it on a shoot one day and it works.

My lab pup goes threw stages of doing the same thing, always grabbing at grass. But he doesn't have problems with his poo or sick. Once he ate a lot on a walk and that night he was sick bit of food and the random twigs etc from the garden.
