I only gave her three pills and then stopped when it became apparent she was now having the opposite problem.
Today is the third day of no bowl movement and I'm at my wits end to know what to do. Her tummy is semi-hard and rounded more than usual. She is a more quiet then her normal bouncy self but doesn't seem horribly lethargic either. She's still excited about eating and she's drinking ok too. I tried to get her to eat canned pumpkin per some posts I read here, but she turned up her little nose and wanted nothing to do with it.
Of course today is Thanksgiving and I can't take her to a vet or even really call one so I thought maybe all you experienced Yorkie owners would have some good suggestions or at least some reassurance for me?? She's my baby and I just want her to feel better! |
put a little low sodium broth and mix in the canned organic pumpkin and if that does not work some baked organic chicken as the chicken flavor will entice her to eat the pumpkin as the pumpkin is a natural fiber -- demi did not poop for 4 days after the dental she had due to pain meds so i did this and it worked but not too much as it can also stop them up as well so a tablespoon a day should work - at day 5 you need to go to the vet
