Constipated doodle!

[Michelle]

Help! Nipa's 8 months old with a healthy appetite, dRinks plenty of water and excercise. She has to go and gets in the position and nothing. Will do this 2-3 times and nothing. Anyone else have this issue? Words of wisdom welcome!!!

She may need more fiber in her diet. 

[Michelle]

She's dry food. Orijens puppy formula with a 1/2 tsp of fish oil each day

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Orijen is an excellent food but it can cause constipation in some puppies. Try giving her a couple of tablespoons of plain pure canned pumpkin (NOT pie filling) with her meals, the extra fiber may help. 

[Michelle]

Now she's throwing up all of her food and liquids

[Michelle]

About 4x in the past 15 min. It's all water now. Bringing her to vet in am.

[Michelle]

Freaking out right now.

Call an emergency vet!!!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Michelle, calm down and take her to the ER. She needs to be seen now, she may have an obstruction. Please update us when you can. 

[Jennifer and Jack]

I agree ER VET NOW... could be an obstruction and she needs to be checked to make sure she will be okay and not need immediate surgery.

Michelle, Take a deep breath and stay calm. How long has Nipa been on this food and has this been an ongoing problem? How long since she pooed last?

[Donna K & Quincy]

Ok, I was thinking the same as Karen and it's always better safe than sorry. ER is a very good idea.

How is Nipa doing this morning?
