The past 3 to 4 days she has been eating like normal but not drinking like she should! I always have water out put she isn't drinking it. yesterday she went pee once in the morning so about 7:30am and not again tell 11:00pm! We took her out several times during the day and she wouldn't go all she would do is sit down. She is playing like normal and acting just fine but just not sure why she isn't drinking her water or going potty? I should add she hasn't went poop in two days as well. Any ideas?

If would call the vet. You know your baby best. Maybe an xray to check for obstruction. Did she eat anything that you know of? Any toys missing?? I would definetly call the vet.

I would call the vet since she hasn't had a poo. Has she tried to go poop and just can't? Or has she not even tried? Any vomiting? How was her last poo? Was it solid, small pieces, soft, etc? She could have an obstruction or just be constipated. A trip to the vet would be best to rule out anything.

If she isn't drinking as much, it makes sense that she wouldn't be peeing as much. If she hasn't eaten anything that she shouldn't have, and there's no obstruction, then she just may be constipated. You could try some pure pumpkin and see if that helps her. If not, and she is still having the same symptoms then a trip to the vet would be a good idea. Hoping its nothing serious, and she's okay. Sending hugs, love and prayers for you and Lola. Please keep us posted.

Add some water to her kibble next feeding and see if she eats and drinks the water. Not enough water in her system will make her constipated. So if the water in her food doesn't help, a trip to the vet will be in order.

Well she has went pee like normal today and she did finally go poop but it was very solid and full of PEANUTS! She must have liked my trail mix! I thought my daughter ate it but looks like it was Lola. All is was is peanuts and raisins, will any of this hurt her?

Ah Ha!!! We have figured out the most likely culprit! They get into anything they can. I don't think this will hurt her as long as she doesn't have a peanut allergy. Depending on when she ate the trail mix, it doesn't sound likely she does. It sounds like she is on the mend but I would keep eyes on her for a while. Try some pumpkin, it might help her go to the bathroom a little softer. I am not an expert, just my opinion, so maybe some of the more experienced people here have more/better advice?

I think I will try the pumpkin just to make it softer and easier to get out!

I don't think she got much because there isn't much in it. She is back to normal now!

Raisins & grapes are poisonous to dogs (cats too, I think) so be careful
to keep trail mix from her.

So glad to hear it was constipation, good for you knowing her pee/poo habits
so you knew of possible problems.
