My Shih Tzu has constipation for 3 days now; what should I do? She actually cries trying her best but nothing comes out.

ACCEPTED Check Mark

This could be an emergency situation with her bowels either having something stuck in them or with her bowels having folded in on themselves.
You really need to get her to a vet for a check to see if she has something (say a toy or bone) stuck where it could hurt her intestines or if she has some other sort of blockage.
Hope this helps you!
