I took my dog, Fenway, out to potty this morning. He peed but he wouldn't poop. I went back into the house and called work to tell them I would be late. I then took him for a 1/2 hour walk. He STILL didn't poop. I called the Vet and told them it had been over 12 hours since he pooped and whether I should be concerned. He pooped last night at 5:30 and it was normal and then he pooped around 8 but it had pieces of a red plastic toy in it. I had to get to work so I left him at home. I feel so bad because I was yelling at him to poop. I think he may have some blockage in his intestines but I'm not sure. I'm going home at 1pm to see if he'll poop. If he doesn't, I'm going to call the Vet to see if I can take him in. I just feel awful because I yelled at him and all this time I he was probably sick. Has this happened to anybody else's dog (not pooping)? If so, what was the outcome? Did you have to bring your dog to the Vets? Did they do surgery? Do they tax x-rays? I hope Fenway will be okay. I just feel so awful. I'd die if anything happened to him.

He may just be constipated. Is he still eating? Did he show any signs of distress the past day, not acting normally? Best thing is to get him to the vet's and get a definitive answer. Surgery may not be required, so try not to think that far ahead. Often the vet will admit them and just watch and wait and see if they pass whatever might be in there. Hoping for some good news! Lots of hugs and prayers for your dear Casey
Casey in the post above me stuck in my head. Yikes! But the sentiment is the same, so glad to hear Fenway is doing well
