| can't poop Tricksie poops EVERY morning, she has not pooped since Sat. morning. Nothing has changed in her diet, no new toys. When do you start to worry? She is full of energy.

| You could try some canned pumpkin, as this is supposed to be a very good remedy for constipation. If she doesn't go after that, I personally wouldn't leave it any longer than a few days in total, before taking her to the vet. You don't want her getting an impaction. Luv Franceen |

| Every once in a while Milo skips a day, I would give it till Monday afternoon, if no poop by then I would call the Vet. |

| She hates pumpkin but I froze some with a little bit of banana, and she ate it.

| Hope that the frozen pumpkin & banana will sort out the constipation. I am not sure how much pumpkin they need to eat to sort it out, though I would think about a quarter of a cup? Maybe someone else on the forum knows the amount she needs? Let us know how she does. Luv Franceen xx |

| A teaspoon of plain pumpkin, twice a day, should be enough. I always add a little Karo syrup to it to make it taste better. If she won't lick it off your finger then just put some on your finger and put it in her mouth. Are you sure she did not sneak around and go somewhere when you were not looking? I hope she goes for you. |

| All the advise given should be enough. If it's been a really long time or any pain. I cut a slither of glycerin suppository and give that to them. This is usually very effective. |

| No, she didn't sneak around and poop, I am sure but the pumpkin did help, gave her a teas. and she pooped the next morning. Thanks for all of the help.
