Miniature Schnauzer Wont Poop?

19 11:36:37

Question
My 2 month old Miniature Schnauzer hasn't pooped for two days. She will pee but she won't poop. We take her outside after she eats and at a certain spot but she won't poop. She is a girl and we have had her for a couple days. We feed her about 30-40 pieces of dog food in the morning and at night. She eats Pedigree for puppy. We also give her water.

Answer
Hi Armando;
at 2 months this dog needs to be fed 4 times per 24 hours, so twice a day is not enough to feed her.
I don't know how much food you are talking about. I don't measure by how many pieces.
Read the label on the back or side of the dog food bag, for the proper amount to feed her, and she should be fed a puppy formula dog food.
If she was switched to a different brand of food that she was eating, when you got her, that could be the problem.
When they are switched on foods abruptly at any age, it upsets their syatem and either constipates them or gioves them diarreah.
If you haven't taken her to a Veterinarian since you got her, you need to do that right away.
She needs to start her puppy shots and get on a regular program of health care.
