Thank you for submitting your question regarding T. Typically the pumpkin will help ease constipation within 12 hours of feeding it. It tends to be more effective in cats than dogs though in my experience. If it does not seem to help him, then I recommend that he sees his veterinarian for an examination. He may need fluid therapy, a prescription laxative or even an enema. I hope this information helps and he is feeling better soon!
