my dog is crying when pooping
Hello,
I have a 15lb neutered italian greyhound mix who has been whimpering, which has turned into all out crying, as if in pain, when pooping. this started several months ago, maybe 6 months ago, infrequently. he's scared of lots of things so i thought it was more of the same when he would yelp and run away from his poop. as it got more frequent and he seemed to be pained i started questioning it. Ive taken him to the vet recently and she took an xray that didn't indicate anything but per her suggestion i had him get an ultrasound. this showed that he was in good health. the vet said his anal glands were fine too and that his prostate was normal in size and health. she did say, upon first examination, that she thought she felt something enlarged just inside his anus. the subsequent tests didn't show anything. the end result was a suggestion to get him on soft food only. i had previously had him on EVO small beef kibble. I used to put fish oil on top, which he enjoyed, and it seemed to temper the problem, but never solve it. he's outside a lot and should not be holding it in either, something i considered as the problem. his stool is solid to soft now and he's still crying. i feel like i've exhausted options and the vet seems pretty clueless at this point. any thoughts are appreciated. thanks Travis |

Oh boy - did you consult with another vet. I would get another opinion. If you feel something is wrong then it is. Follow your instincts.

I agree...you should go for a second opinion. Ask your friends for a referral to a good vet. Tell him or her all tests that have been done up till now and see if they have any other suggestions. Have they done an ultrasound or anything to look at the bowels?

I second the 2nd opinion. I'd take him to another vet or specialist ASAP.
