Shit is granular. Is it a gastrointestinal problem?

Feces can also be used to judge health, both humans and animals. Dog feces should be smooth, moderate in hardness and length. If the dog's feces are like sheep dung, one after another, it depends on whether the dog is constipated. Then, if the dog is sick, some will have constipation symptoms.

Is it normal for stool to be granular? This is an abnormal situation, indicating that the dog is constipated and the stool is dry and hard. It usually happens to dogs with dry diet and lack of daily exercise. Under normal circumstances, a healthy dog should have a moderate soft and hard stool that can be picked up from the ground without touching the ground. At the same time, the color is mainly khaki. Of course, the specific color of stool depends on the dog's diet. If the dog's feces are very dry and hard, and the amount of feces is very small, it is difficult to excrete, indicating that the dog has constipation.

Unreasonable dog food: do not eat dog food, animal offal, meat, rice and other foods for a long time, and do not eat fruits or vegetables; Dogs are obese and exercise less; Dogs don't like drinking water and being angry; Dogs eat many bones; The dog suddenly came to a new place, and the environment and time were adapted; Although dogs are familiar with the environment, there are many disturbances, such as firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, or other dogs when preparing for defecation. The dog is old; Dogs suffer from joint diseases.

How to improve? Improve the dog's diet. Don't feed the dog too dry food. If food is dry, we must prepare enough water. We can soak dry food in water to soften it and give it to dogs. It is best to give the dog some digestible food, such as millet porridge. In addition, dogs should eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and plant fiber. Some probiotics can be added to dog food to promote digestion and improve gastrointestinal function. We can also add some honey to the dog's drinking water. Take the dog to exercise regularly, and help it consume excess fat and calories through proper exercise, which also helps to promote digestion and gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote smooth defecation. If you still can't solve the problem of constipation, be sure to take the dog to a special pet hospital for diagnosis and see if the dog has other diseases.
