Hi,
I'm new here. Some of you probably know my wife Lies with her dog Kenya.
I am at wits end here. Maybe you know, but her dog doesn't like me. I don't do anything to her...promise. It's a male thing. Anyway, Liesje is in Florida, but her dog is with me. I've finally gotten her to eat and drink occasionally. All good things.
Now though, it's been two days where I have fed and given treats to the dog and she simply will not poop for me. I know it is anxiety related...so I have taken her out without the leash because she does respond to me...but mainly in fear...and I've tried while on a longer leash...like 20-25 feet. Nothing works.
I know she has to go because last night, her stomach woke me up...and today just 5 minutes ago, I took her out again and she was honestly passing gas when she would return to me in hopes to go inside.
I might be considered dog dumb, but I know this has to be uncomfortable for her and want to remedy the situation asap! Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Liesje's husband Phil
