[eddieAA]

I have a toy fox terrier that can not take a poop. he tries, then cries and runs away. he was fine in the morning, but come evening he just can't go. just so people don't question my posting, i am on shift work and my wife is taking the dog to the vet as i type. i'm just trying to find somthing out while i'm sitting here waiting

Do not post questions that require immediate veterinary care. Instead, pretend that your dog or cat that is suffering is your mother, father or child. What would you do then? You would take them to a doctor immediately.

If your pet is seriously ill, bleeding, can't move, hasn't pooped or peed in a couple of days, is vomiting, has green mucus coming out of the nose or eyes, hasn't eaten or drank in a few days, is pooping blood, is coughing blood, has a bloated tummy, cries when touched or picked up.....Then please take the poor animal to the VETERINARIAN ASAP.......Do not waste precious time posting on this or other bulletin boards or chartrooms. Your pet needs to be seen by a real live veterinarian immediately. Many pets have died waiting for advice when they should have been at the doctor's office.
