Why is my Beagle constipated, shaking, and not eating or drinking?

Question

I have a Beagle and she is very constipated when she has to make a poop she cannot squat so she sits but nothing comes out and she shakes uncontrollably. We had her at the vet and he gave her an enema which helped but nothing has changed once home. She also doesn't eat and only drinks a little bit of water. What could be wrong with her? Would so appreciate any input, thank you very much. She is 9 years old and weighs 15.2 kilos. Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Female | spayed | 9 years and 6 months old | 33.5 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Iris. I recommend that she has x-rays of her belly if she has not had them already. You need to confirm that she is constipated and that there is not another problem. A lit of times straining to defecate can be due to diarrhea not constipation. It would also be a good idea to evaluate her hindlimb with x-rays. She may have joint disease in her hips of knees that make it difficult for her to posture when trying to defecate. If she is constipated still, you need to see if it is just feces causing the blockage or if there is a foreign object causing the obstruction. In the meantime, offer her plenty of water to help to soften the stool. I hope this information helps!
