This is not my question, its is for someone else, but what would you do?

I own a small 10lb dog...7 years old. She is usually very active but the last few days she has been whining when she moves and I can't remember the last time she had a bowel movement I think she may have a stomach issue, what can I do?
As I said, It is not my dog... Im asking for a freind on the other side of the world actually!! I already told her to take to vet immediately but I thought maybe there were some additional info available. Thanks guys

Get it to the vet; could merely be constipation but also could be a bowel obstruction (from swallowing rawhide chunks, or something weird like rocks or pantyhose - dogs eat the darndest things...) or even bloat, both can potentially be fatal.

This is serious if she hasn't had a bowel movement. You shouldn't waste time & take her to the vet.
Sounds like she's in pain!!

If you can't remember the last time she had a bowel movement, you need to take her to the vet immediately. Tiny dogs should have a b.m. daily.

maybe the dog's constipated. try mixing squash -mashed- in its food or it would be better to visit the vet before complications arise.

take your dog to a vet ASAP,this could very well be a serous matter.what youve just discribed sounds like a blockage in the dogs intestine possibly intussection a telescoping of the large intestine which causes a lot of discomfort and thus the ceasing of bm,s.get the dog to your vet right away!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TAKE HER TO THE VET IMMEDIATELY!!!!!
Don't wait take her now!
When a dog acts differently or whines and it isn't normal for them to act that way.....that is a big "Alert" that something is wrong.
The dog might have an obstruction and it might be deadly!
Don't wait any longer and take her in now!

my dog would not move for two days. When he finally did move, we took him to the vet-he was tested for lots of things, turned out after an ultrasound-he had liver cancer. About a month later, we had to make the desicion to put him down-he was having more bad days, than good. We had him for 14 years....

Tell your friend to take the dog to the vet asap.

Good luck to you, your friend and all the dogs....

your dog probably has a bowel blockage, the best thing to do is take your dog to the vet, if it is a blockage, your dog is in terrible danger, the vet can do an xray, to check for blockage, i had a dog that got a twisted intestine, didn't live 24 hours.for you and your dog's sake, i hope I'm wrong.

a vet would be the first response.
But if you really want to take it in your own hands.
A bit of spicy hot dogs will make it come out fast!
(only works if your dog is use to eating a few table scraps)
He may have eaten a bone... and its still digesting.
it usually takes a week?
And if so.. there may not be enough room in his stomach for REAL food. So she might be hungry.... and waiting for this DAMN bone to pass!
good luck!
