As many of you know, Drake had diarrhea and vomiting on Sunday afternoon. I didn't feed him again until Monday late afternoon, at which point I gave him rice and hamburger. I kept the rice and hamburger diet all of yesterday as well, but I also added a canned pumpkin/sweet potato mix to help his digestion. This morning he STILL hasn't pooped! Does this mean he's constipated? Is this normal after they've been sick?

In my opinion, yes, I think it's normal. When Kody had his last round of tummy issues and I didn't feed him for 24hours he didn't poop until the following day of actually eating. I started feeding him again on let's say a Wed morning and he didn't poop till Friday afternoon when we got home from work.

I love his new name btw!

Ok, good. My husband is making fun of me telling me I worry too much! Hopefully he'll poop sometime today then. He should since I've started giving him the pumpkin!

About the name, my husband and I argued for DAYS about this! He didn't like anything I liked and vice versa! He came up with Drake, and I liked it. It means dragon, and of course men want to think their dogs will be fierce warriors. Oh the irony!! (We obviously picked the name before we adopted him, haha)

HE POOPED!!!

Awesome.

YAY! Where's the steaming pile of poo emoticon?

Hah! I texted my husband that emoticon after he went, LOL.
