| Question about carrots... I had read that a lot of dogs like carrots and some people feed thier Yorkie's carrots. So last night I decided to see if Maggie would like them. I would bite off little pieces for her and she really liked them. This morning she got up and went potty (#1) but never went #2 (and she ALWAYS goes #2 in the morning) and I was home with her for about 3 hours before I left for work. I'm worried that she might be constipated. Has anyone else had this problem?? Thanks!! |

| Zack eats a couple of mini carrots every day. He loves carrots! He doesn't seems to have a problem in the poop department. I just wish he would poop where I want him to poop!

| Thanks all!! A lot of times when she's really tired (like she was this morning after a BIG day yesterday) all she wants to do is pee and then go back to sleep. I'm sure when I get home there will be some poop! I hope!! |

| Hi Allison: ..My yorkie loves carrots and consistently poops in the morning and at night. However, once in a while he may skip a poop here and there. It just means that his body is absorbing more of the nutrients from the food, so there is less waste. I remember the first time when I expected him to go and he did'nt. It's funny how predictable they can be, isn't it???? Give it another day or so...he should poop within the next 24 hrs. If not, call the vet for advice.

| I tried the carrots with Maggie, but she just looked at them and me, like who is the nut that is feeding me this stuff. I buy them regulary for our own use, and will continue to try her on them. Too bad, they can't get all their nutrients from human food, because she would love that diet.

| I'm sure Maggie will have pooped at some point today. If not, she'll be a poopin' machine tonight!! I had a feeling she'd like the carrots because she'd eat anything she can get in her mouth!! |
