    Without an x ray kind of hard to tell. It could be a bowel blockage. Young dogs are liable to swallow anything that could create this. I don't know what his environment is. Is he outside most of the day, or in the house on his own?

    I would suggest taking him to the vet and have him physically examined.

    Good idea.

    Have you changed his foods recently? Sometimes it's simply a matter of the animal not eating for several days. If so, it may be a matter of not having anything to "go" with, but it is still a good idea to find out why he may not be eating.

    If your dog is not having bowel movements for more than a day or two I would be very concerned about a blockage and have him to the vet as soon as possible - especially if he is not eating or drinking. Regardless, if he is eating and you are absolutely certain he isn't going that is dangerous, too. A dietary change can throw them off for a day or possibly two, but 3 days is far too long. At the very least call your vet and see what (s)he recommends.
