You I take her out and she paces around in the grass like she has to potty but nothing comes out. She did have a little bit of runny stool last night but nothing today. Shes shaking a bit and starts panting off and on. Could she just be constipated? The vet cant see her til tomorrow morning. This started last night

Hello. Roxy may be constipated, but she may also just be having some spasms in her gut. Feed her very lightly tonight, just a bit of boiled chicken & a tablespoon or two of white rice. Do not feed her after 10 pm in case your vet wants to take x-rays. An empty stomach is always best for an exam. Hopefully, your veterinarian will get things straightened out for Roxy very soon. Take care.
