Post Surgery (Neuter) Hi Everyone, Magnus got neutered yesterday and the surgery went well. He's back to himself today which is good but I've been somewhat concerned b/c he doesn't realize he had surgery and wants to play/jump. Of course, I'm trying my best to keep him from doing so. He was suffering from some diarrhea after the surgery and the vet tech said that was normal. I think he's recovering well but he haven't pooped since yesterday morning. Is this normal too? I'll call the vet tomorrow but I wanted to get some answers from different sources. |
Yes, I do think anytime a dog or human is put under anesthesia for a surgery it can slow the digestive system down. If he's not pooping normally tomorrow you may want to give your vet a call. Also, you could add a small amount of canned pumpkin (not pie filling) to his food to help move things along.:) |
I'm glad he's feeling well. Please don't allow him to run and jump. He might tear out his stitches.:) |
Good news~ He pooped this afternoon. A LOT! I called the vet and asked not pooping for so long is normal and she said that's common but if he doesn't poop by tomorrow morning to bring him in. I'm still little concerned b/c I noticed he was walking little funny today. Like he's sore. I know that's normal but he seemed fine yesterday and even after surgery. It's only noticable if he walks slow. Of course, even though I kept my eyes on him, he'd jump up at every opportunity possible. -_- Like jumping up on the couch. I looked at the area and it seemed little red but I didn't see any tears or anything out of the ordinary. He's acting pretty normal but does seem somewhat calmer. He seems to heal fast so I'm hoping the soreness will go away in couple days. If not, I assume I should call up the vet. *sigh* So hard being a mama... |
