[MandiesMom]

I wanted to start a new thread because this is really about Mandie's post spaying issue (not the bees from before).

Okay, here is the set up and I need some tips/advice of anything I can try tonight - otherwise I'll take her to the emergency vet tomorrow (I'm broke but I'll do it)...

She was spayed on Thursday. Thursday night, she didn't eat much but a little and I made sure she drank water by using a big dropper. She pee'd fine. No poop.

Friday - she pooped about 3 almond sized poops. And pee'd normally. She ate really good Friday and drank from her bowl some but not enough for my liking so I still gave her some with the dropper (a pretty good amount several times from morning to night).

Friday night - she pee'd fine and she pooped but only one small piece that didn't even drop off (I had to pull it off her bum).

Saturday morning - she ate a really good amount of food and I, again, supplemented her water with the dropper (I am just wanting to make sure she drinks drinks drinks). First time out, she pee'd and pooped one poo that was about an 1 1/2 to 2 inches long - looked like it had a "glisten to it" so it wasn't hard and dry or anything.

Skip to about 10am Saturday morning - She squated like she wanted to poo (which made sense because she ate a lot fri night and earlier that morning). When she squatted, she yelped and ran back to me. Ever since then, she's had her tail pulled as far down as it will go (like covering that "bad" booty that's hurting) and she sometimes even walks with a walk like she's pulling her hips under her.

Since 10am this morning, she just looked like she was wanting to poo but scared (just me knowing what she acts and looks like). Someone in my other thread asked if she was pee'ing ok. She is for sure. I took her out at about 4pm and watched and it was a good, normal puddle.

Tonight - about an hour ago, she "tried" to poo again - she didn't yelp or cry but she only got one tiny (maybe almond size) poo out, which again needed to be pulled off of her - it didn't drop. She didn't cry but she did cower back to me and is still acting like she's scared to try to poop. She did pee again and it was a very good size puddle.

Is she constipated (even with that good pooh this morning)? Should I try canned pumpkin and/or mineral oil? Any and all advice is wanted and needed! Thanks!
