How to Relieve Constipation in Dogs

How can I train my dog to hold its stool?
Training to hold stool takes patience. Steps: note when it needs to go after eating, take it to the designated spot (indoor pad, outdoor grass), reward after it goes; once used to the spot, if you don't take it at the fixed time it will try to hold. Control water, avoid drinking lots before bed. Stay patient and consistent; don't scold accidents, just clean up.

Some of my rabbit’s droppings are very round, some are stuck together, they’re black, some are a bit long, and some look like they’re connected by fur
Normal rabbit droppings are usually cylindrical or slightly flattened ovals, fairly firm, uniform in size, smooth on the surface, and dark brown or black in color. Because rabbits are herbivores, the fur-like bits in the middle are most likely bits of grass stem. Also, rabbits frequently groom themselves, so some hair ends up in the stool — this is all normal. But from the photo, your rabbit's pellets are rather small, which may point to slightly insufficient water intake; make sure it always has plenty of water, and occasionally offer vegetables like carrot or celery to add moisture.
