she hadn't touched her food since Wednesday of last week. She would eat turkey slices from the deli and kept that down. Now she won't poo, she hasn't had a bm since Thursday,

If she hasn't been eating properly, she simply may not have enough in her system to make a bowel movement. Pumpkin pulp IS a gentle laxative, but I think I'd hold off a bit if she's not straining or acting uncomfortable.
Sometimes, difficult as it is, the best course of action is to just "wait and see". Like anything else though, common sense is warranted. You know your dog better than ANY of us.... and better than the vet for that matter. Follow your heart when it comes to knowing when professional help is required and when to just wait and observe closely. Hopefully she's well on the road to recovery.
