14 year old basset hound having trouble walking and pooping ?

My basset hound is about 14 years old and for the last few days she has not been walking very well. She is bowed up in her back and having a hard time pooping now. She has not had much of an appetite either. Please help??!!!

    • Give the dog a mild laxative. Add canned pumpkin to your dog's regular food. Introduce fiber to the dog's diet. Use a supplement designed to treat canine constipation. Put a small amount, usually around 1/2 tsp., of Metamucil in the dog's food twice a day. Administer an enema. Lack of exercise, especially in older dogs, can bring on canine constipation. Canine constipation can be a sign of a more serious malady. Some "human" foods can lead to constipation for the dog. Seek immediate veterinary attention if the dog is suffering from a decreased appetite, lethargy or is passing some blood.
