Can I give my 70 pound Bernese Senekot for constipation. The vet gave her gábepentin and mirtrazipine. They are not sure what is wrong. She started eating but has not pooped in at least 3 days. First day eating on her own.

Thank you for contacting PetCoach with your question about Lucey. I'm so sorry she isn't pooping. Unfortunately we cannot legally recommend giving her any drugs, including OTC drugs, without seeing her in person. We simply can't safe if it's safe or not. I do not recommend giving her any OTC drugs without speaking to her vet first. I'm not sure what tests you've had done, but I recommend an x-ray of her abdomen to see what could be causing this problem. Best of luck.
