Why is my dog having loose stool and straining to poop on walks?

Question

My dog is having loose poops, and when we go out for a walk attempts to poop multiple times with not a lot of success. She still does her morning poop and is pooping, but she tries so many times when we are outside. Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd | Female | spayed | 2 years old | 40 lbs

It sounds like Sheila may be suffering some GI distress. If this has been ongoing for a while, it would be best to bring her into your vet for a full exam to rule out issues such as parasites, constipation, GI inflammation, food allergies, or issues such as blocked anal glands, etc. Until you can get to the vet, you can try offering a bland diet of boiled rice and chicken to help settle her stomach, but it is best to bring her into your vet if her symptoms continue.
