Hello everyone, I have been a bit worried since late thursday last week on through today .... I keep my 4 month old husky on a very strict feeding schedule ... I feed her every day at 8:30 a.m a cup of Eukanuba puppy kibble with a cube of boiled chicken grated on top of it and again at five P.m a cup and a half of kibble with a vegetable like green beans, brussel sprout or carrot ... up until thursday she would have to poop an hour and a half after eating and she would sit down and wait at the back door .... since thursday though she has been holding it in ...for hours! i think it started with a horrible cold windy rain storm, she was just frightened and very determined to get her way and go back inside the house ... but unless she poops i want to keep her in her crate to avoid accidents .... me and my boyfriend have been so worried! has anyone had this problem? is this normal or okay? we fed her at her normal dinner time and it has been seven hours and still NOTHING :c If anyone has a bit of advice i would love to hear it !! thanks!!!

My Phoebe did the exact same thing. She would eat breakfast at 7:30 and wouldn't poop until 2:30-3:30 and she wouldn't poo her dinner 5:30-6 until she woke up the next morning . I ask my vet cause I was concerned too and he said it was fine, that I should just get her moving some more and it'll make it easier for her to go

I found when Karli was smaller, that she pooped the easiest if I took her for a walk about an hour after her meal. We got the best bowel movements then. She holds her poop all night and poops in the morning (we feed her when we eat, which is usually around 7pm and she goes to bed at 8pm, never has any issues with holding it and we stay up for a while after, so if she had to go, we could take her out.)

thanks guys i was pretty nervous ...she seems healthy and happy ..playful self ... i was just making sure it happens.... then again shes a pup still and her body is going through tons of changes :>
