My dog can't poop. Is Dulcolax safe for dogs, or what can I do?

Question

My dog had vaginal hyperplasia and it teceded on it's own but now she is not able to poop. Is it related and can I give her dulcolax? Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | unspayed

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The inability to poop is NOT related to the vaginal hyperplasia. It likely receeded due to the time in her cycle, as the hyperplasia is hormone responsive. I recommend getting her spayed. Dulcolax can be used in dogs, however the cause for her not being able to poop should be investigated and I recommend a visit to the vet. High fiber foods such as pumpkin (canned pumpkin, NOT pumpkin pie filling) can help as well. Best of luck with Chooe!
