Mitsi wont potty after spay and the vet is closed??

[KimSie13]

Thanks for checking in Girls but no She only did one little ball, Shes not Herself at all. The Vet called in lalaxatives liquid and Shes had 2 doses but still nothing. He also called Her in antibiotics to. I feel so bad, Shes pityful and Its like I cant help Her. It means so much that You all are thinking about Her.

Give the laxatives another day. She's been stopped up for a bit so give it another day. I'm sure they will work. Keeping her in my prayers. Praying for GOOD poop (we are ALL familiar with this prayer..trust me). Hang in there!

I am checking on on her. I am hoping the meds work for her. Good thoughts and good poop

Hi just wanted to update You on Mitsi. She finally pooped, today. Poor thing I had to take Her back to the vet this morning and they checked Her butt and found that She was not even constipated. Apparently they think She might have just been scared to go because after surgery She tried and it hurt and I think She thought by going again it would hurt. So Shed been holding it in. Thanks to the laxatives it forced Her to finally go. Looks Like She will be okay ( : Her stitches come out Saterday and Shes acting more like My Spunky Crazy Monkey. thank You everyone for being here for Me. Your all the best. Woofs From Mitsi!!

In no way is it an alternative treatment.
How's she doing today?

She finally pooped and Her stitches are totally fine now. They come out Saterday. The vet even did the checks on Her for free since the constipaion and things were caused by the surgery and Id had an issue with one of the nurses. Also for refrence dont use peroxide on stiches unless a vet tells You to or Your desperate. Our Vet was telling a lady in the office when I was there it can cause serious tissue damage and increase the infection. ( : please dont take that as rude I just wanted to share what the vet said

That sounds like what happened with Mandie. They gave her stool softners and an enema but her poop never did look hard enough to say "constipation" to me. I bet that's what it was with her, too. I'm so happy to hear we got POOP!!

Not rude at all, better safe than sorry.
Scoobers licked his incission, my Vet was closed that's what they said to do in the middle of the night when I called and then gave ne the first appointment in the morning.

Wonder if it was just because it was an emergency safety measure and he's a he so the procedure is different-my vet used liquid band aid over him the next day and later when I had my female spayed vet said liquid band aid was no good to cover her incission while they did international disolving stitches the external stitches on my female had to be removed by vet later.
