Hello. Constipation along with a refusal to eat is a medical emergency. You should have Zuzia examined as soon as possible so the underlying cause of her constipation & anorexia are addressed & any appropriate treatment started. I hope she is feeling better soon & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
