My Yorkie has now gone 2 days without pooping. It is cold, snowing and icy here and she refuses to go. She will go outside and go pee but thats it. She usually will only go poop if she walks a bit anyways and everytime I try to walk her she gets too cold and just stops. Ive tried booties but she refuses them. I am just worried that she will get sick if she wont go poop.

Lacy has gone three days before. She often will go every other day on a regular basis. As long as your dog seems normal, I'm sure she'll go when she really needs to. If you start noticing anything abnormal then there might be cause for concern. I'm sure all is okay and she's just not wanting to go because of the weather..but I bet she will when she really needs to.

charlie used to go 3 times a day. Since switching him from a very cheap dog food to natural balance. He only goes twice a day. Otherwise, he goes out to pee a lot. It used to be 3 times a day. Now it is 5-6 times a day. He is 4 months old.
