3.5 year old constipated

My cousin has pooped 2 times today and both times it's weird looking pellets, is he constipated?

Maybe, or he could be dehydrated. Try giving him some milk, pedialyte, 7up, sprite, or ginger ale. It should help if it's either of these problems.

Yes. He needs a stool softener and more fiber. Tell his mom that he pooped like that.



EDIT:

Look at this poop chart (drawings). lol

You'll be able to tell what level his poop is on

Yes, he sounds constipated. Prune juice is GREAT for constipation, and try to get him re-hydrated with water, pedialyte, juice, whatever he'll drink.

Sounds like constipation to me, yes. Raisins and additional liquids always help my toddler, very quickly, when he's constipated.

Give him Prune juice or Prune baby food - my kids loved the sweet taste too.
