I was doing a little reading of some old posts on the topic, cause Marlee has been having a little problem. I read that its not really considered constipation unless it is hard, dry stools. Marlee's poop is what I would consider regular consistancy (not too hard or soft, looks regular in color) but she just seems to have trouble getting it out. She will go get in the litter box and you can see her little muscles moving, and she will get it going, but then its like shes not patient enough or something, she turns to look and sees none on the litter and just gets out. She will have a piece of poop beginning to come out, up to an inch or so, still on her bottom. It will eventually fall off, or if I am home or course I will get a tissue and get it myself. I talked to the vet and he said it is from the Albon she was on and it will go away. But does this sound like constipation to you, or is she just too impatient?
