My dog yelped while pooping and hasn't gone in days. What's wrong?

Question

Hello, I have a almost 7 year old Siberian husky and I'm in need of some advice. I haven't seen him poop the past few days and today when I took him out to go potty he pooped a little bit but when he first started to poop he yelped really loud. What should I do? Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | neutered | 6 years and 10 months old | 93 lbs

Poor Delgado! The yelping indicates that something hurt or really upset him! I would recommend to take him in the see the veterinarian today if possible. He could be severely constipated. He would also be trying to pass something that is causing pain in the colon. He could also have a significant anal gland infection or tumor. It’s best to get this figured out quickly before something gets worse, especially since you have not seen him have a bowel movement in a few days. Chronic fecal retention can cause some long term effects. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
