He will haunch as if he is going to go and nothing comes out. Vet had me give mine a baby lax and if no movement i was to bring him in. It worked in about 5 mins. Other times i gave a tbls for vegtable oil in a few spoonfulls of his fav wet dog food
The only info I can give you is if it tries to pass stool and nothing comes out, then that might be an indicator. Do not take it lightly though. If you see bloating of any kind this could be an obstruction which is life threatening. Some breeds are actually prone to getting constipation but usually the smaller breeds. When I raised GSP, I had to put one down as she ate half a Frisbee and the obstruction caused part of her intestines to die. I always kept dried apricots around. Give the dog no more than 3 and prunes work also. I wish you luck but observe the dog closely and your vet can also call something in to **** store.

SOURCE: Morning, I think my dog is constipated. What can I give her. It is Rottweiler weighing 45 kg
First, I'm not a vet.
* You should have the vet check. (blockage, infection, bloat, etc.)
*** Following for information only. ***
* Check if dog is really eating and holding in food.
* Look for yellow, white foamy spots on floor (bile)
* Check if they are trying to cough up something but only clear liquid or food is expelled.
* If any of these conditions exists then see the vet.
* Otherwise, check the diet and what foods are eaten.
* Note restricted foods; Onions, Grapes, Nuts, Chocolate, Garlic (though some say 1 clove a week is okay to control worms.)
* 100% organic pumpkin (no spices) is good for digestion, usually for controlling the 'runs' though it's okay a couple times a week to keep plumbing running smooth.
* check on line or with vet for recommended diet.
* Ask the vet for additional advice. (most don't charge to answer questions over phone.)

Is your dog using the bathroom daily? If so probably not constipated
