The puppy started eating puppy dog food about 3 days ago, he has been trying to go to the bathroom and cannot. I am getting really worried. His belly feels really big and he has been trying for a couple days.

I have bred chihuahuas so i do have some experience in this...hope this is helpful, I would suggest if you are talking about a bowel movement try giving him some can puppy food not dry, and add a little water to it so it is runny and sometimes you have to stimulate there bottoms with a wet rag or paper towel just wipe it a few times that may help thats what there mothers do when they lick them there. if it's to urinate then do the same but to there privates. and if none of this works i would suggest calling a vet because if you try giving him something other than what i have suggested it could give them the runs and make him dehydrate and that can happen fast just like with a baby. and then he could die. best wishes

I had a german shepherd puppy this happened too. He could pee but that was it. He had an interseseption (spelling?) but it is where the intestine telescopes in on itself. His had gone in 4 times. He began to puke up his feces and we rushed him to the vet. We had taken him to another vet but they thought it was an infection. After an X-Ray the problem was seen just in time. He would of died even as little as a day later. He had an emergency surgery and is perfectly ok now over a year later. I would take the pup to the vet.
Without being able to go he won't get nurtients that are vital at his age. Without this his growth can be stunted and more problems could arise. Please hurry him to the vet. Even an online diagnosis shown by those who seem like they know everything may not be right. It's risky depending on a simple answer online. Please go to your nearest vet and seek help. If payment is a problem they will set up payments and help you out step by step that is how we gave Jerry his second lease on life even though we couldn't afford it.

Rub his belly gently. The mom usually does this by licking them. It usually stimulates the system. Give him water and don't let him eat until he goes or he could just get worse. Go to a vet asap because it could be a lethal and painful obstruction. Dogs and especially puppies swallow objects that are not meant to be eaten.

Why ask here?? Why not just call or take the pup to the vet? What are you doing allowing your dog to have pups if you do not have the sense to use your vet as a resource for problems?

Get him to the vet immediately- he may have an obstructed bowel or a torsion, both very serious conditions.

Something could be really wrong with his digestive system and you should take him to the vet.
