| No BM in almost 3 days!! Is that okay? Chloe normally goes poop twice a day, but on sunday she had the runs and had them until tuesday. I put her on a bland diet and since shes been eating that food shes been constipated. Advice! Please! |

| Sometimes after a dog has been sick with diarrhea it takes them awhile to get back to normal. I recommend you get some pure canned pumpkin and give her a teaspoon twice a day until she gets back to normal. You can add a tiny bit of karo syrup to it if she does not like the taste. Pumpkin is full of fiber and it works for both constipation and diarrhea. Once you open the can of pumpkin, whatever you have not used after a couple of days you can freeze. Just drop some on wax paper on a cookie sheet and put in freezer then after it freezes just put it in ziplock bags for later use. |

Great post! Constipation is an important symptom if there is vomiting involved, because this could indicate an intestinal obstruction, and in that case you would want to see a vet immediately. In this case, however, it sounds like she just needs a little time to get back on track, and many people have had success with pumpkin. Hope Chloe's feeling better soon!
