This GIRL has got to be FULL of CRAP

My little 3lb Chihuahua Berta Mae has not pooped in days, more than 3 for sure, unless she did it and I haven't found it, she only goes outside or on the pee pee-poo poo pads. She's been eating and drinking lottsa water.

Giving a dog a laxative sounds messy and scary, she doesn't feel bloated or anything, any advice- I know I could Google it but this seemed a funner route......... Happy Saturday

She could have some type of blockage, I know pumpkin is supposed to be really good for a dogs digestive system but you may need to take her to a vet

Pumpkin is in her diet, she doesn't have any teeth so everything is pureed.

She's 13 years old ...

She likes pumpkin and carrots

Sorry to say this happened to my dog Cassie a number of years ago. She stopped pooping and was lethargic. Did blood tests at the Vet and found her internal organs were shutting down and we had to put her to sleep.

Not saying this is what's wrong with your dog but you NEED to take her to the Vet.

Okay ^^^ I hear you & thank you !!

However she's not lethargic at all & her body is not plump up like she's full of shit, I'm watching her carefully, took her outside yesterday and ran around crazy with her pack at the park, I kept hoping something would rattle loose, I didn't see her do it though.

She's so old it's not good to put her through the stress of a visit to the veterinarian if it's just something I can handle at home(crossing my fingers)veterinarian prices are insane just to walk in the door will cost me more than a hundred bucks only for them to tell me that nothing is really wrong, been there done that!!

I can use the $$$ for my animals in more ways than one rather than putting it in their pockets.

Like I said she's not lethargic or feels like she is bloated, maybe one the other dogs in the house ate her shit it's been known to happen...

Considering all the signs and symptoms I would expect she has pooped and you missed it.

At the top of the home remedies list for this is pumpkin puree which you are already giving her. The next advice is make sure she is hydrated.

Running around at the park and being lively doesn't jibe with a constipated dog.

Keep watching her like you have been.

Olive oil. 1 tsp per 10 lbs dog weight.
Perhaps you have already tried this.

AM/PM burritos and a six pack of natty light should do the trick nicely. Worked for me.

Luckily I was wearing my Armani adult diapers, otherwise this Miata woulda looked like a crime scene.

Yes, if she is that small, go easy. Use your best judgement. Maybe 1/2 tsp

When my little dog stopped pooping, he had Pancreatitis.I hope it is not that.

You say she shows no other signs. I would just watch her close and make sure she is getting enough water.

Hi Ajay

YES, she's been drinking water and I'm watching her carefully, I just fed her and she ate really good like always.

I'm praying it's nothing serious !

I have 3 Chihuahuas they are prone to backup and have to go the vet to have their glands expressed. The only real warning is if the go across the floor sitting on their bottom. If not done it can be fatal.

Put her in a crate for a day. You can make sure what comes out or not.
