Why is my dog constipated after taking Endosorb for loose stools?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | neutered | 9 years old | 12 lbs

Can Endosorb cause constipation in dogs? Romeo had loose stools for few days so vet prescribed it. He pooped only once yesterday and it was normal but kinda dry. Should he resume to more normal stool after use of Endosorb. Thank you

The ingredients in the product can definitely dry out the stool which may cause constipation. If the stool doesn't return to normal after finishing the course of it, or if it is becoming painful or causing severe constipation, I would let your vet know as they may want to change dosing or switch to a different product.
