Thanks for the comments everyone! The vet said the blockage was due to undigested food and that the meds would help "regulate" her. Although he was causal and dismissive during the exam, his advice and treatment seems to be working. Maggie is doing a lot better. She has her appetite back and is keeping her food down. She's pooping normally and doesn't appear to be constipated or have diarrhea. We're easing her back to her dry food (Wellness Super 5 Mix) slowly. I've noticed that she's gotten a little spoiled with the chicken and rice diet. This morning, she ate all the rice and chicken and left the dry kibbles.
I've been feeding Wellness Simple in the salmon/potato - works for Milo - he had similar stomach problem as puppy (no blockage, just barfing). I also prefer no grains to help w/potential allergies. I agree w/Bev and Melissa - vet seems a little too dismissive.
My doberman has had this problem many times due to eating things she should not (before she came to live with us). A couple times the vet was able to give her a shot that helped to pass the blockage and 3 times it resulted in abdominal surgery ($$$$). Hopefully your pup will pass this but if it is not very soon I would get back to the vet. I am surprised that after 3 days your vet wasn't more concerned. Has she been able to poop at all ? Misty is permanently on Science Diet i/d (the bland diet in dog food ,prescription only) due to damage to her intestines. If you vet doesn't seem more concerned I would look for a different one.
