My GSD puppy has eaten 2 eggs and some cottage cheese for breakfast, and he didn't poop since then, noting that he already ate his launch and dinner, i think that the cottage cheese caused constipation, what can I do?

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. He ahould be fine going this long without pooping. I would say if after 3 days he hasnt pooped to contact a veterinarian and have him examined. For now, I would add in canned pumpkin to the diet to see if extra fiber helps stimulate normal bowel movements. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
