Angel needs to go...Should I try flax seeds

[lavendarJ]

Angel is not a raw doggie. She is constipated. I thought of soaking flax and mixing it in her food. Should I? I am trying to make the transition into turning her into a natural and organic dog. She is very picky.

Thanks for all suggestions

Poor Angel. Actually, for both constipation and diarrhea, canned pumpkin is the best thing going for dogs. It'll even things out either way.

I give mine a can or so a week as a treat and equalizer. He loves the stuff.

He weighs 120 lbs, so a 15 oz can of pumpkin puree (without any of the pie spices) is his vegetable meal.

If she sticks her nose up at it, throw in a raw egg yolk (do not include the white) and see if she'll bite.

Good luck!

Did you make sure her opening is not blocked with hair? My Girl is small and hairy and she keeps me checking her Stuff. Also Massage her Belly and take her for a RUN..........
