Answer 4

take it to the vet and let it run around and drink a lot of water.and whatever you do don't feed it human food.its bad for them.

Answer 5

Take the dog to the vet, they'll probably administer an e***a to help the pooch p**p.

Answer 6

What have you been feeding the dog?  Dogs don't normally have that problem, however, give the dog a small amount of cold milk and if you have any castor oil about a teaspoon.  If your dog does not go in about an hour afterward, please take the dog to the vet.

Answer 7

This is a little gross, but seeing as your dog hasn't pooped, I'm going to tell you anyway 'cause that is a BIG problem.

Try rubbing a warm wash cloth on his/her a**s. That will usually make them p**p. I had a baby chihuahua who would not go to the bathroom for anything and that seemed to work with her.

I suggest trying this as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, get your dog to the vet IMMEDIATELY!!!!! If he/she has eaten something bad, a blockage may have occurred and this can result in death.

Answer 8

Take it to a vet.

PS Tic-Tacs have a slightly laxative effect

Answer 9

Answer 10

You should take him to the veterinarians... they will give him fluids to help him go. Don't let this go because he's bloated and could have worms... if he doesn't go he will die...  

Answer 11

your wasting time getting answers on here.

you should be taking it to the vet.

get there asap

Answer 12

Can you think of any reason why she hasn't?  I mean... some dogs won't p**p if they're in a new home.  Some dogs will hold it if people are around because of bad potty training.  I would definitely take the dog to the vet.

Answer 13

Is the dog still eating?

Could the dog be eating his poo without you knowing?

Answer 14

He should probably see a vet.

You could try pure canned pumpkin, just offer it to him in his food bowl. Most dogs really like it for some reason. It's rich in fiber and should help.

Answer 15

CAll your vet for this. He could have an impaction, and the longer he goes without pooping, the worse it will get.

Answer 16

There could be an intestinal blockage.  It happens when the dog eats something the digestive acids can't break down.  The dog will pass most objects but sometimes something gets stuck and nothing can get past it.  If this is the case the dog needs to see a vet.  The vet might prescribe a laxative to help it through or he might operate to remove the blockage.  This happened to one of my dogs about 7 years ago.  He swallowed a piece of a tennis ball.  The surgery was $500.  I don't know how much it would cost today.
