Hound not poohing - when do I need to worry?

Sorry, I've gone from being obsessed to DC's poohing habits to obsessed with the DHounds poohing habits.

She's a grey, normally poohs three or four times a day and has done nothing all day today which is very unusual. When do I need to start being concerned?

Have you taken her for a walk? Exercise seems to stimulate the need to go

Yes, she's been out twice today as usual, and had a massive sprint at lunch time.

Unless there is a specific reason to worry about her not pooing (e.g. having recently eaten something that could be causing a blockage, such as raw hide) I wouldn't worry until the dog had not pooed by tomorrow morning, first thing. If no signs of poop by then, I'd be calling the vet for advice.

I knew I was fussing over nothing -she's "done one".

Thanks for patting me down!

No worries. Glad she's 'been'!
