sabsab00 · 09-04-2007, 05:09 PM

Hi everyone......Im a little concerned about Buster. He's been eating fine all day....But he hasn't pooped all day??? Is there something special I should be doing?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How old is Buster?

sabsab00 · 09-04-2007, 05:16 PM

He's 5 months old...

marcerella02 · 09-04-2007, 05:26 PM

sometimes they just have off days... like today Layla pooped twice... she NEVER poops TWICE!!! so see if he still hasn't gone tomorrow.... if he hasn't you can give him some pure pumpkin (not the spiced kind) or some olive oil.

take a warm rag and wipe his butt
it should help

Another thing are you sure he didnt go somewhere & eat it ?

yuck i hate that

Right now Abby has developed some strange obbsession w/ the cats poop and i can always find her in the litter box. It's gotten to the point i have to put up a baby gate to keep her from getting in there.

But anyway... Abby does that a lot and she'll be 5 months old on the 8th... She usually poops once a day and thats every morning. She eats fine all day and just never goes. But every single morning she runs to her pad and poops. Which is fine w/ me, i only have to clean it up once a day

yea...ive been following him around all day....kinda stalking him lol

I wouldn't worry too much...sometimes they just get upset tummies and either go or don't go. If he doesn't go tomorrow, call the vet!

Also, make sure he just didn't sneak off and go somewhere or that he didn't eat it...

MyFairLacy · 09-04-2007, 07:58 PM

Lacy normally poops once a day but it's not uncommon for her to go a whole day without pooping (where she just poops every other day).

lara2913 · 09-04-2007, 11:23 PM

If 48 hours pass since he last pooped then take him to the vets. Sometimes this happens, its nothing to worry about if they don't poop for a day.

zoeybear · 09-05-2007, 07:44 AM

My husband thinks Im crazy because I know what time Zoey should poop.

I will say,"She usually has her second poop by now."

10 min later...she poops

Hubby says,"you spend too much time with that dog!"

Yelure11 · 09-05-2007, 08:02 AM

Yeah you shouldnt worry too much. Lexi will have her off days and not poop at all. But by the next day she will. Both my pups will poop twice a day. Nico poops as soon as he steps outside! But once he just didn't go and I was a bit shocked! but I realized we all have off days too, and he just pooped a lil extra the next time I took him out..

Maybe a lil extra water? (just a random suggestion)

sabsab00 · 09-05-2007, 09:14 AM

Thankyou all for your suggestions...it still hasnt happened yet. But ive made an appt to go see the vet tomorrow. I hope everything is ok. Does it matter that I just started taking him outside for walks? Nothing crazy, just around the block...

Ellie May · 09-05-2007, 09:23 AM

Walks are great. I would consider calling your vet (even with an appt. tomorrow) and asking what they suggest if he doesn't go within a few hours. Everything should be fine but it is creeping up on 48 hours which is too long it would seem.

sabsab00 · 09-08-2007, 01:56 PM

Hi everyone, sorry I couldnt post this earlier...work has been nuts! But all is well with Buster, I guess he was just having an off day like you all said!

Thanks again for all the responses. I really do apreciate this site and all of the great suggestions and tips! I would be lost without it!
