We recently got a female adult boston terrier. she has been through a lot in the past four months but since we've had her she has not eliminated or passed any bowels for the three days and counting that she's been home with us. I am concerned that she may get sick if she doesn't go soon! Any tips on adult dogs who are adjusting to new environments? We take her out every so often and just wait outside but she just stares back at us. please help!

Are you actually walking her around a block or park? Sometimes when I would walk my dogs they would not go unless they were walked around for a while. But three days is a while. You should take her to the vet just to make sure nothing funky's going on.

I think it's worth your while to call your vet on Monday to get some assistance with this. I think she'll eventually eliminate, but this could be a sign of an illness, which is why I think you should call your vet on Monday.

My mom's dog did this... They just recently moved into my husband and I's old house and their dog refused to go to the bathroom for a few days (he is they type that if it's not "his" yard he won't go) he eventually went, they can't hold if forever...Now he's been there for awhile, and has adjusted just fine!

Three days is a LONG time to not to anything at all.
I would recommend taking it to the Vet asap.
Best luck, God Bless.

try leaving her out by herself. [watch from window or where she cannot see you.] Some dogs do not like to be watched. Worth a try. If that does not work, do see a vet soon

If you are certain that she has not went to the bathroom at all then you need to take her to the emergency vet right away. Is she drinking and eating?

most dogs do that when they live somewhere new. just give it a little more time and she'll go. if not but the next day or two try the vet
