i need help with my new dog please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Question

i asked this once i know but no one answered. i have a 3 yr old yorkie i got her sat. we are crate training her so she is with me at all times or else in her crate when im not here. well the peeing thing is going great however on mon she pooped in her crate i think it was runny couldnt tell because he was all in it (YUK) anyway. i thought it was just because she was in a new place. she really doesnt eat much either but she only weighs 4 lbs so i am not sure she should eat alot. she is happy here now plays loves on us ect but the thing is she has not pooped since mon and its now thurs is this normal or is there a problem? she just got spayed 2 wks ago also.. should i be worried or is it normal for a small dog not to go every day? someone please help me with this. any advice or suggestions. and she doesnt act sick as in like this is a problem for her

Answer 1

I think your dog should go daily.
Mine go twice a day, but they are bigger. If you feed a highly digestible dog food, she may only have to go once or every other day.
She probably emptied her bowels completely when she pooped in her crate,
If she hasn;t gone by tomorrow I would start to be concerned. But I am highly paranoid since I had 2 dogs that had a bowel obstruction, sadly both died despite having surgery, the female has had it twice and died second time around.
Call a vet if nothing by Friday, you don't want to head into the weekend having to worry about something like that
Keep a close eye on her and good luck !
