Hi there,
My daughter found a chihuahua mix yesterday, no tags/chips. We are keeping him while we try to locate his owners, and adopting if not they are not found. He seems very friendly, active, and sweet. He is drinking, and urinating but isn't eating very much and has not pooped. I offered him various foods including meat, but the only thing that interests him is bread (which I am not giving him very much of in hopes that he will eat something more nutritious) I have also tried giving him some milk but he isn't too interested in that either. I palpitated him stomach and it seems to be fine; no bloating, no pain, did not feel any obstructions. Should I be concerned over his lack of enthusiasm about eating? How do I determine if he is constipated? Are there any signs I should be paying attention to? Other than this he is really content, and a playful. I just want to be sure I am not missing anything... Thank you!
