To me, the way you're describing this - she actually is in pain. Are you giving her a regimen to help w/ her knees and with the pain...? I hope so.

Surgery can reallllly slow down the GI in a huge way. They go to the bathroom very, very little those first couple/few days - and then things start moving again. Is she having trouble going #1 or #2 or both...?
For our Wylie, who also had both knees done - I put a towel under his chest to support him and then would have him try to go potty.
