My cat hasn't pooped in 2-3 days, when should I take her to the vet?

Question

Butter has not pooped in 2-3 days. She has a history of constipation and will sometimes go a day or 2 without having a bowel movement, but never longer than that. At what point should I take her to the vet? She is acting normal and eating/drinking/urinating with no issues. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 2 years and 3 months old

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Butter. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian now. The longer she goes without defecating, the more serious it can become. She may need fluids under her skin to provide her with more hydration. If the problem is severe enough, then an enema will be necessary. I hope this information helps!
