Hi,

Abby was spayed on Wednesday and did not eat on that day. She was back to normal eating yesterday and this morning. She has not poo'd since Wednesday morning and I am getting myself worked up, as usual, that something is wrong. My husband said she tried to poo yesterday, but sat down each time and did not. However, I am not sure because she has not tried at all when I have her outside. She does sit a lot when out for a walk on the lead (excluding mad dashes at squirrels). I think her stitches are bothering her, but I see no evidence that she is trying to poo.

Just trying to decide what degree of panic I should be in now, since I am already leaping to the conclusion that vet sewed her bowels closed or something.

Yes, I give Liquid Paraffin, but the vet can give you and enema if you don't like the idea of the L.P.

Thanks Jackie! I will call the vet.

It's not unusual for a bitch to be a bit constipated after being spayed Have a word with your vet before giving her anything
