Not defecating may come from weak intestinal motion, low water intake, or blockage, causing belly pain, bloating, poor appetite, and lethargy, and prolonged cases can cause megacolon.
Constipation lets toxin-laden waste pile up, burdening the liver and kidneys and even causing chronic poisoning, so see a vet if it lasts.
