Just a reminder if your dog goes under anesthesia just like humans start a clear liquid diet slowly (by encouraging water intake and enteracal supplements) until the gut "wakes up" (gurgling noises) before reintroducing food.
My wife wrote the above, and she's a RN, hope it helps.

The gums are pink and moist, and her belly looks good; I don't see any bloating and the cut looks great. Can you expand a bit on old digested blood? What would that come from?
Thanks Quad (and thanks to your wife too!)
