My dog ate a fruit seed, can't poop, crying. Is it an emergency?

Question

My dog is a harrier and he just ate a pip from a fruit that was quite big and he swallowed it whole. The pip has been siting in the backyard for ages and he has been running around a lot more and stoping to try to poop but he can’t. He has been crying crazly and he won’t sit normally?!

That is bad news. If he just ate the pip you need to take him to a veterinarian right away. If indicated the vet may try to make your dog regurgitate the pip by giving your dog apomorphine (This will depend on the size of the pip) in order to avoid an intestinal blockage. Not being able to poop may have another cause, either constipation or an anal gland problem which is painful and keeps him from pooping. You need to take Jake to a vet now before the pip moves on into the intestines.
