My puppy chewed package tape. Why hasn't she pooped all day?

Question

Yesterday I caught my puppy with a piece of tape in her mouth (the kind you'd rip off a package) It was small and she was chewing dont know if she ate any. She's been acting normal since then and she pooped a lot this morning but hasnt pooped all day even though shes eaten. Should i be worried?

Oh that was naughty of Snowball to eat that tape! Even if she did eat some, it might not necessarily get obstructed in her GI tract, and I wouldn't be concerned just yet that she hasn't pooped all day. Some dogs won't poop multiple times a day, and their pooping frequency can vary by day. Just keep an eye on her for now, and if she continues to not poop over the next 24 hours, then I would have her seen by a vet :-)
