Rabbit constipation, common in young and old rabbits, comes from dry hardened gut contents due to poor feeding, too much concentrate, low water, or too little exercise, and can block the gut. Signs are poor appetite, hard small stools, then no stool with a painful belly and palpable hard masses. Prevent with balanced feed and water plus exercise; treat early with greens and, for severe cases, sodium sulfate or salt laxatives.

How to train a Golden Retriever to relieve itself in a fixed spot?
Training a Golden Retriever to use a spot is best started around one month old. Goldens usually defecate about half an hour after eating, so set a feeding schedule to predict elimination, and take the dog to the spot near that time. Also, let the dog's toilet retain the scent of its waste so it returns to the same place next time.
