| Hi, I dont want to scare you, but if she hasnt urinated in two days, she most definitely might be getting dehydrated. Im sure it hurts like crazy for her to get up....that poor baby girl Have you been hand feeding her and offering her water by hand? I really think she should be examined again. You might also have to physically help her stand to go to the bathroom. If she is dehydrated her stooll will become hard too and very dificult for her to pass.

| If your girl is drinking ok for you, you can add mineral oil to her water to keep her stool soft, until her injuries heal also. Mineral oil doesnt a taste so it should not interfere with her fluid intake. |

| I am really surprised to hear this. I always thought that a few pelvic fractures needed surgery...I guess it is based more on the location?? If she is not urinating, this is an emergency. Please take her back to the vet!
