New family dog is not having bowel movements

Rating: 0

My family and I just aquired a new dog. She would have gone to the pound if we hadn't taken her in. She is a lovely four year old black chow. She seems to be adjusting to her new surroundings and is going from being an outdoor dog to an indoor dog. We have had her for almost five days now and she has yet to have a bowel movement. She isn't really eating well right now because she was raised on human food and we are tyring to get her to eat dog food. I was concerned about her not eating so I boiled her a hamburger pattie last night but still, almost five days and she just will not have a bowel movement. I'm very concerned. Is there anything I can do for her? Thank you so much...Dee

    I would add pure pumpkin to her diet as it is full of fiber. Also, a black chow IS NOT A FAMILY DOG. They are known for a bad temper.
