yes yes...I was the poster. My dog did not poo for 4 whole days after surgery. It was killing me because I didn't know what was wrong esp since the last time he pooed was diarrhea. A couple of YTer's and I did a poo dance for him on the 4th day and he POOed that day!!
On the more serious note...I don't think you should worry until the third day of contipation because anything an irritate their small tummies. Travel, change if diet, anxiety, pain (for my leg - his leg), ate something wrong. If he still does not poo by the 48th hour call your vet. Make sure his stomach does not swell and give him LOTS of water. What I did was:
changed his diet to boiled chicken and rice with water and gave him plain yogurt with NO treats. He did eventually poo.
Good Luck and let us know!
