Question
My 12 year old poodle is on Lasix (18.5MG a day), Soloxine (.3MG) for thyroid, Enacard (2.5MG)for heart and Theophylline ER (100MG) for lungs.  I feed him Merrick dog food and green beans for treats but he has frequent constipation.  What can I do to help him?

Answer
Hi Diane - good info, thanks!
Ok, how about some Kellogg All Bran cereal - give two teaspoons per day mixed into his food...

Also, because he suffers from Congestive Heart and Thyroid Disease, I would recommend a good supplement like NuVET Plus -
