| Constipation I believe my little girl is consipated. She has not had a bowel movement all day (which is not normal). All she has done is laid around and slept all day. Is their anything I can give her? |

| I agree with the plain canned pumpkin. Also, if her behavior is different or she is lethargic a vet visit is in order. Hope she feels better!

| The lack of exercise is probably why she hasn't gone today. I wouldn't worry about constipation yet. If she is lethargic, then I would watch her closely and go to the vet as suggested above. Did you have overcast skies today -- maybe she is just having a lazy day with the weather in NC? For constipation though, I would do exercise/walking first. Pumpkin and warm body wash/belly rubs second. Keep us updated on how she is doing.

| Thanks everyone! She is 4mths old. Yes our weather has been really windy today and I could tell she wasn't to sure about it when she went outside. She did get a little more active late this evening but still no bowel movement. I am gonna try the canned pumpkin tomorrow if she doesn't have a bowel movement between now and firts thing in the morning. |

| Canned pumpkin has worked wonders for us in the past. If it doesn't help, I would take her in to see the vet.

| Is there anything you can use beside canned pumpkin my little girl was spayed Thursday and hasn't had a bm since Saturday afternoon once a day is normal for her. So I was wondering yesterday but I'm sure she can't today of course she has eaten very little what should I do. I have feed her boiled chicken and broth and did mix it some kibble
