Oh the poor lad   Two things spring to mind, fibre-wise, that could be added as supplements to help create a natural 'road': You could try adding some green beans to his diet (frozen ones are handy, cheap, plentiful and low-calorie)  . And / or oatbran is a great fibre source, too . Wheatbran is just as good but some hounds tolerate it less well than the oaty version.  Jo x |

I use bran (the rough stuff; not All Bran which is too refined) for any dog who's constipated or the other way. Mine happily lap it up mixed with a little milk, if they are on kibble rather than tinned with biscuit.
Healthfood shops in markets are cheaper than dedicated health shops.
