I noticed she was not eating the food at the shelter, she likes the food we give her and eats a little but is not interested, won't eat snacks (even beef hot dog!) buried the marrow bone we cooked up for her. She has had two major losses recently with her owners moving out of state, plus stuck at the shelter where she was surrendered with her sis who was adopted earlier. We brought her home Friday afternoon and will be setting up an appointment with a vet for this week.
She is a rare hunting breed dog and loves to stay outside, but hasn't been seen by me or my husband peeing or pooping EXCEPT after she peed in the house twice, letting us know she is jittery inside and needs to be outside. We have a nice crate set up for her which she began going into last night after much persuasion! Now she willingly goes inside and we only close the door at bed time.
Concerned about her not pooping more than peeing on the carpet when she's been out for hours (including several long walks).
By the way, she is a Portugese Podango, Medio.2 year old female.
