Hello. You can feed Nicky a tablespoon of canned pumpkin ( not pie filling ) with each meal. Try & get her to take in more fluids too, by offering broths or soup stock in addition to fresh water. If Nicky refuses to eat, is straining constantly to have a bowel movement or vomiting, please have her seen as soon as possible. If she is truly constipated, only your veterinarian will be able to help her. Hope all is well & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Yes, it does sound like something could be wrong with Bailey. Try putting a teaspoon of canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) in her food. If she hasn't pooped by tomorrow morning, have her seen by a vet.
