My dog is struggling to poop and won't eat treats. What's wrong?

Question

10months old, hyperactive, part albino. Voracious appetite - eats everything in sight (indoors and out). Suddenly refusing treats. Wants to poo, but can't - probably only constipation - is there anything we can give him as a laxative. Has been eating grass within last hour. He drinks a lot of water normally and no change today. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 10 months and 4 days old | 36 lbs

It sounds like Kaspar may have an upset stomach. He may also have diarrhea. A lot of times dogs present appearing to be potentially constipated when in fact they just had diarrhea and feel the need to go. I would recommend having Kaspar checked out by a veterinarian. Especially since his appetite has changed. He may need diagnostics depending on physical examination and history, but he also may just need medication to help him feel better.
