Yes - But not unless you have them checked by a vet first. If your dog is in any discomfort or is vomiting, or if the constipation has been a problem for more than two or three days, call your vet - your dog may have a blockage that can kill them.
If your dog is constipated a lot and the vet can't find a cause, try adding cooked pumpkin or mashed green beans to their food, and make sure they get enough exercise. Make sure they have enough enough fresh water too.
Hi,
A simple, isolated episode can be treated with a stool softener such as Laxatone, which you can buy at one of the giant pet warehouses, or DSS capsules, which come from your veterinarian. Read and follow the label directions carefully to be sure you do not overdose your dog.
Here are some guidelines in treating your dog's simple constipation:

Not a good idea for enemas if they have parvo as suggested by someone else. They already have diarrhea at that point. You can give enemas to dogs that are constipated but you cannot give the over-the-counter variety we can use ourselves. If you do you can cause severe electrolyte imbalances and possibly death. If you have to do any enema at home, use warm water and mineral oil. Best bet even if you are certain your dog is constipated is that you go visit your veterinarian. Often times, it is the opposite.
my dogs has ate human laxatives,at least 7 cubes,by accident.will this cause her any harm?
If a dog has a blockage and has not had a proper bowel movement, the best cure is a natural cure. Water, pumpkin, bran, milk and sometimes a long walk can help as a natural laxative.
Human medications seldom have the desired effect when given to other animals. If you give the puppy laxatives you may poison it. See your vet if you are concerned.
he will die depending on the amount take to vet quick
If your ferret is constipated you might try Cat laxative or hairball remedy, also white Vaseline. Canned pumpkin (not canned pumpkin pie) can also be used. Just be aware that constipation in ferrets may be caused by stomach blockage and may require surgery
An average of 42 days is the time is takes for a ferret to give birth.
Rhubarb is a strong laxative
If your ferret is overdue to give birth, she needs to be seen by a veterinarian asap.
Feed your ferret it's regular meal in the morning. When hunting take some treats and plenty of water for your ferret.

If you puppy is having problems with bowel movement you need to contact your vet so you can get a laxative prescription. Be careful though because if the issue is due to blockage or obstruction a laxative could cause further damage.
A ferret should always be fed a diet appropriate for their nutritional needs like a dry kibble ferret food. If your ferret is not eating the correct diet, they will suffer from malnutrition. If your ferret is just not eating, it may be caused by an underlying medical condition that needs attention. Your ferret needs an examination by a veterinarian.
No. Guinea pigs can't catch illnesses from humans, or vice versa.
