She is drinking a bit better, she likes ice cold water from the cooler but won't but rarely drink from her water bottle. I hope I am not spoiling her too much. If there is no poop by this afternoon, I am calling the vet. She has only had one good poop and one small one since she got home. I am cutting back her pain meds again today, will try to go 10-12 hours and see if that helps. She won't eat pumpkin I am sure so I can't try that. I will try to get her to eat some high fiber toast when I eat breakfast. Anyone got any other suggestions? I'm sure its a combo of not eating much, no activity and narcotics, but I still worry. Overall, she seems comfortable but like any post op patient she gets tired easily and sleeps a lot. That's the update for today.

You can sprinkle 1/2 a teaspoon of metamucil on her food to help the process along.
