Maltipoo Constipation

What constitutes Constipation

• A Maltipoo might have trouble going to the bathroom. You can see this in their facial expressions, sounds, and body language.

• Infrequent bowel movements – There will be a change from twice per day stools to just once or even every other day.

• Hard stools – When feces does come out, it may have a hard consistency.

• Small stools – Your Maltipoo may pass little at a time, often looking like tiny, hard pebbles.

Reasons why a Maltipoo May Become Constipated:

1. Not enough water – Not enough water – If a Maltipoo doesn’t drink enough water, their stools can become hard and difficult to pass.

2. Limited exercise – A sedentary lifestyle can take a toll on a dog’s body. Skipping daily walks can slow the digestive system, often leading to constipation.

3. Stress – If a Maltipoo is experiencing stress, this can upset his GI tract. This can be things like separation anxiety that last a while, or changes like moving to a new home.

4. Change in diet – Generally, a dog does best when his main meals stay consistent. If there has been a change, there can be a period of adjustment in which the Maltipoo either has loose stools or becomes constipated. Also, some table scraps such as cheese or other milk products can cause this issue.

5. Not enough fiber - Most high-quality commercial dog foods include enough fiber from fruits and vegetables. Lower-quality brands may lack sufficient fiber, and if you cook at home, you’ll need to add plenty of veggies and fruits. Fiber helps retain water in the stools, making them easier for your Maltipoo to pass.

Here are some health issues to rule out:

Most Maltipoos may have constipation for common reasons. However, it’s important to know about health issues that can affect bowel movements.

Enlarged anal glands – All dogs have these glands (one on each side of the anus), sometimes called scent glands. They normally release a small amount of oil when a dog meets another dog or has a bowel movement.

• If the oil doesn’t release naturally, it can build up and enlarge the glands, which may trigger constipation. If left untreated, the glands can eventually rupture, causing a mess and leaving the area vulnerable to infection. In some cases, the substance inside becomes a thick paste. This can lead to constipation and discomfort.

• Enlarged prostate gland – Relevant with male Maltipoos, this is most often seen with senior dogs. A wide range of issues, from infections to cancer, can cause this.

• Blockage – Swallowing certain foods, like raw hides, or non-food items can cause a stomach or intestinal blockage, which may be partial or complete. This is urgent and requires attention right away. Even dogs that have never chewed on non-food items can mistakenly eat something.

• Toys can also wear down over time. They may break into pieces that dogs could swallow.

• Dehydration – Mild dehydration can cause constipation in Maltipoos, but owners should also watch for acute dehydration. This can happen when dogs exercise on hot days without enough water. It also happens during activities that cause heat stress or heatstroke.

• Other issues – Pelvic neuropathies are nerve-related problems. They can impact the central or peripheral nervous system. Tumors in the rectosigmoid can also affect these nerves. Older dogs can also have hip and joint problems that make constipation more likely.

If your Maltipoo experiences constipation and shows signs of distress, act right away. Signs include vomiting, dry heaving, trouble breathing, excessive drooling, pacing, a bloated stomach, refusal to eat, or lethargy. Take him to your vet or the nearest animal hospital immediately.
