Gas and constipation, possibly

I gave him more pumpkin this morning, and he ate his breakfast kibble -- the first he has eaten since lunch yesterday. He had lots more poopies on our morning walk, yahoo! When we returned, he was throwing his kong at me begging for more kibble, but I don't want to overload his system.

The canned pumpkin is a life saver. Although he didn't poop last night, I think it helped get a big gas bubble out of his system so that he could sleep.

I know gas and constipation isn't the worst thing a Yorkie can suffer, but watching Maximo's contortions was very distressing -- he looked like a dam going into labor.
