Shitzu puppy not pooping

Question
We have a 13 week shih tzu puppy.  Her last bowel movement was 24 hours ago.  She has been eating fine and acting fine.  Advice, please?  Thanks!  Laura :)

Answer
Hi Laura - I can suggest some feeding and supplements for her-
Don't worry -

Ok, do you have any canned pumpkin at home?  Like pumpkin pie filling? The best would be the NO added sugar... Anyway, give her two teaspoons of this right now.  Excellent fiber for your baby.

Next, If you would like we can change her food -  What are you feeding?  I can make some great suggestions ..... YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT... choice of food is very very important.

Also, please get your baby onto some NuVET Plus - This is a Nutritional Supplement referred by many Shih tuz Breeders all over the world - give 1/2 teaspoon per day - Get the NuVET Powder and mix it into the food --- will cost you .25 cents per day - Again, one of the BEST things you can do for this kid!
NOT sold in stores - only thru breeders , kennels and vets.
Buy here - Use breeder code 81098  Thanks
http://www.nuvet.com/81098   ( Get the NuVET Plus Powder - 90 days )
This will last you 5-6 months - if you use 1/2 dosage per day.

One more thing, YOU may want to do 1 teaspoon of pure canned pumpkin every other day - just to keep some good fiber in her belly.
It won't hurt her at all.  
I always suggest LOW cost and Natural - When Possible.


Give me an e-mail next week...Let me know how she is.
Don't forget the NuVET Plus , ok.
