It would be best to have Rexy examined by a vet. Pets with constipation can look identical to pets with un-productive diarrhea, and we must make sure we are treating the correct issue. Constipation has a variety of treatments based on it severity. Treatments can range from laxative use to enemas to sedation to manually removed feces.
