My dog doesn't poopy

How old are you?
Can you drive?
If not, can anyone else in your family take him to the vet?
Do you have any friends that drive?
If it's an impaction he will die if he's not treated.
He needs to go to a vet asap!!

When we moved to our apartment, Charlie did not poop for three or four days. It was just stress and he was adjusting to a new environment.

However if this goes on for more than just a couple of days, take him to a vet immediately.

Here in california if you rescue a dog from a shelter if you take the dog to the vet within 3 days the charge for the vet seeing the dog is waived, not the charge for other things but for the office visit.

Jasper was dewormed once at the shelter. He still had a gut full of worms when I brought him home. It took twice more at the VET until he was worm-free.

Yeah but she also said the dog's anus was raw and the shelter told them it was because he wasn't rubbing his butt on the ground after pottying. With the other factors, and the raw anus, I think the dog needs to be seen by a vet, it's not just the not pooping.

YAY!! He did poop while I was at school! I'm soooo glad nothings wrong with him ^^

He should still go to the vet and get checked out!! Pooping once doesnt solve anything! Yes, it's alot better than before but there may be an underlying problem! go to the vet!!

Yes, there very well could be still something wrong! My grandparents dog every several days or so would eventually have a poop because it softened enough to pass by the blockage.

Your dog needs to see a vet as soon as possible! You seem to be missing that part of our posts. Why ask for our help if you will not act upon it?
