No Pooping!

Posted : 9/18/2006 8:21:37 PM

Ok so Harper has not pooped in 2 days! His belly is making all sorts of crazy noises like he has to go and he does try, but nothing! Today, he really didn't eat or drink much. We did go for a walk but other than that he just layed around. I am ALWAYS calling my vet, (I'm a New Dog mom) and I am wondering if I should just let it go for another day or if I should call them in the am? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank You,
Worried Mom of 7mo St. Bernard

Yep,,,I'd be worried also. I would be calling my vet.
But also,,,I would try feeding him a few tablespoons (or a bit more) of canned unseasoned pumpkin. It might help to make him go.

While I was having my coffee this morning, waiting for the vet's office to open. Harper finally went!! and he has gone 3 more times. Not runny or anything. I am still going to keep an eye on him, and keep the pumpkin in mind. Thank you so Much!

I would (and do) still have pumpkin on hand..not a bad thing to have just for occasions like this!!
