There is no way to help a dog pass an obstruction at home. The dog needs to be seen by a vet where x-rays can be taken and surgery performed. This is a serious condition that can quickly become fatal.

There are many causes of constipation, ranging from cancer in the dog's rectum to a foreign body impaction.

However, your dog could still have a partial obstruction that can still be fatal. For this reason, you need to get your dog to a veterinarian immediately for examination and treatment.

Give your dog plenty of water to help them get flushed through and dilute the salt and watch him carefull for signs of bowel obstruction.........other than that I cannot think of anything you really need to do.
