Constipation?

Question
Hello,
 I have a five year old chocolate lab female who has not gone poop in a few days  to my knowledge. She has been eating/drinking normally, peeing, but has been sleeping a bit more than normal. This may be fatigue from swimming in our pool. Can you think of any natural laxative we could give her or any possible reasons she isn't going?

Answer
She probably is going and you just haven't seen her go.She would be somewhat sick by now if she hadn't gone at all. You can give her some canned pumpkin, unsweetened in her food or straight and that should help her if she truly hasn't gone.

Give her about a half a cup.
