My puppy was dewormed for worms, hasn't pooped in 24 hrs. Obstruction?

Question

We recently adopted a puppy, she threw up worms the first morning we had her. Obviously roundworms, contacted the folks who are fostering. They had dewormed her when they first got her, and I'm about a month it passed. I'm gathering she was reinfecting herself. I gave her a dose of Sentry DS. She's had a couple of bowel movement since then, but has not pooped in over 24 hours right now. Should I be worried about an obstruction? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | 3 months and 14 days old

Jenny, DVM · Accepted Answer

IF she is eating and playful with no vomiting, then I would not worry about an obstruction at this point. She may not have reinfected herself, she may have had a high worm burden and the first round of medicine just did not get all of them. She should be checked in a week to see if there are any left to see a dewormer will need to be repeated.
