5. Expert advice
Professor Li from the School of Veterinary Medicine at China Agricultural University pointed out in a recent live broadcast: "It is an emergency if a puppy does not defecate for more than 36 hours, and adult dogs can be observed for 48 hours. Prevention is better than cure. Regularly keeping a 'defecation diary' for dogs can detect abnormalities in time."
Based on the discussion data on the entire Internet, it is recommended that pet owners: record the frequency of dog defecation every month (normally 1-3 times/day), always keep pet Kesel at home (use according to doctor's advice), and pay attention to whether the dog's expression is painful when going to the toilet - this is a key observation item emphasized in the recent Zhihu hot post "Looking at Health from Feces".
Through the above structured analysis, I hope it can help you scientifically deal with the problem of puppies not defecating. If symptoms persist, be sure to consult a professional veterinarian.
