Extractions: A Rodale Press contribution Your cat's litter box hasn't been disturbed all day. Your dog's pooper scooper is beginning to collect dust. You always knew your pets were a little unusual, but could they also be irregular? "Dogs and cats tend not to get constipated, but it happens, and it's not much fun for them," says Clayton MacKay, D.V.M., director of the veterinary teaching hospital at Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph in Canada and president of the American Animal Hospital Association. If your pet is straining with little or no success for a whole day (or more), you'll want to see the vet to make sure nothing serious is wrong. Meanwhile, try these remedies to help get her moving again. For Dogs and Cats Give her high-fiber fare. "A high-fiber diet isn't just good for humans. It can be just what a constipated dog or cat needs," says David Hammond, D.V.M., a veterinarian in private practice in Pleasant Hill, Oregon, and veterinary affairs manager for Hill's Pet Nutrition. He recommends buying a pet food that contains 7 to 13 percent fiber. You'll find the fiber percentage on the label. By regularly eating a high-fiber diet, "your pet may never be constipated again," he says. Mobilize with Metamucil.

Extractions: What is it? Many men think that constipation means 'not going at all'. Medically speaking, however, constipation is when the stools are hard and being passed less often than they usually are. It's a strain, a struggle, call it what you will, and is usually accompanied by sounds such as 'nnnngggghhhh' from the top end. It's estimated that 1 in 14 people in the UK have constipation at any one time, and that for one in ten of those constipation happens on a regular basis. What happens? Put simply, if you're passing stools less often and they are like hard rabbit pellets, or if producing them is a strain and painful, then you're probably constipated. Moreover, if you're spending more than a minute on the toilet without the excuse that you're reading the newspapers (which no-one should do on the loo because it can cause piles) then this is another sign that the motions are not moving as easily as they should be. In addition to piles straining to pass hard stools can also cause small tears in the sensitive lining in and around the back passage that may bleed.

Extractions: - A common misconception is that healthy people have one bowel movement per day. The truth is, most people pass stools anywhere from three times per day to three times per week. If stools are soft and pass easily three or more times per week, then one is usually not constipated. Common causes of CONSTIPATION

Extractions: Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. It is frequently caused by a disturbance of how the colon works. The normal functions of the colon are to: Constipation may occur because: Normal bowel habits among healthy people vary greatly from three times a day to three times a week. In some individuals, constipation may refer to infrequent bowel movements (less than 3 per week). While troublesome, constipation is usually not serious. It should be treated and corrected to reduce abdominal discomfort and other related symptoms and to prevent the development of complications. Untreated chronic constipation may lead to or aggravate more serious problems such as hemorrhoids or fecal impaction (partial blockage due to hard stool). Measures to Treat Constipation

http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_constipation_and_megacolon.html

Extractions: CONSTIPATION An occasional episode of constipation is not cause for alarm. Stools seem unusually hard. There is unproductive straining. Veterinary assistance may or may not be needed. Here is what you need to know: Straining unproductively can be a symptom of either constipation or large intestinal diarrhea. In either case, small amounts of mucous, gooey, or even blood tinged stool can be passed and there is a lot of pushing involved. Difficulty urinating can also appear as straining. The point is that if all you have noticed is straining, it may not be constipation. Straining to urinate is often an emergency situation so if there is any question about the petâs ability to urinate, see the vet right away. It may be tempting to buy a commercially prepared enema at the drug store and attempt to relieve the petâs problem at home. Some commercially prepared products are toxic to pets so it is important that human constipation products, be they enemas or laxatives, not be used in pets without specific veterinary instruction. One of the purposes of the colon (large intestine) is the storage of stool. Many pet owners become alarmed if the pet has not passed a stool in a few days, especially in a post-anesthetic situation. In fact, the colon can easily store several weeks worth of stool so if only a few days have passed it may be worthwhile to wait a little longer.

Extractions: University of Iowa News Release Release: Feb. 12, 2003 UI Researchers Invite Adults To Take Part In Chronic Constipation Study People with chronic constipation are invited to participate in a University of Iowa study of the effectiveness of biofeedback therapy to treat the condition. The study also will investigate quality of life and psychosocial function related to constipation problems and treatment. Eligible participants must be 18 to 75 years old and have at least two of the following symptoms with 25 percent of their bowel movements over a three-month period: stool frequency of two or fewer times a week; hard stools; excessive straining; feeling of incomplete evacuation; feeling of blockage; or need for digital maneuvers to defecate. People taking stable doses of antidepressants are eligible for the study. Women who are pregnant and people who have irritable bowel syndrome or ulcerative and Crohn's colitis are not eligible to participate. Prospective participants will be asked to make one or two visits to UI Hospitals and Clinics for an initial assessment. Selected participants will then be enrolled into one of three treatments groups: standard (three visits over three months), biofeedback (six visits over three months) or relaxation (six visits over three months). Some people will then have the option to continue with the study for an additional nine months. Compensation will be provided.

Breastfed babies have several helpful types of bacteria in their large intestine that are capable of breaking down some of the otherwise indigestible proteins that are present in milk. As a result, the infant's stools are softer, making bowel movements easier.

Extractions: DEFINITION Defining constipation is a battle ground. If asked about constipation, most modern medical doctors answer that if the stool is soft, there is no constipation, even if bowel movements occur only once a week. I think the medical definition of having soft stools is partially right. If the stools are soft and odor is not excessive, then the movement is probably adequate when considering only function of the colon in passing through waste in that individuals system. It may not indicate ideal health. This particular definition is dependent on fluid intake. If insufficient water is taken in, the colon removes more water from the feces than it should. This causes hard stools, and dehydration constipation. This can also be caused by deliberately holding on to feces and not answering the call of nature. If the feces remain in the bowel too long, they tend to continue dehydrating and get hard. If the stools are soft constipation being defined as hard stools, is a good one.
