If she isn't drinking enough water, that will do it. Has she been playing more than usual or panting a lot? Try cleaning out the water bowl (I do Puddin's every day with soap and water) and putting down fresh...fill it all the way to the top as sometimes they don't want to drink from the bottom of the bowl. If that doesn't help, try boiling some chicken and giving her the broth from it (worked when Puddin' was sick and didn't want to drink water).

Try cottage cheese or yogurt! My lucy loves it and is now regular.

Canned pumpkin will work. It can be used for diahrea and constipation both
