So… I’ve previously posted in a different sub with a similar issue before this. My dog had an accident and broke his back right leg. He was required to wear a splint throughout the weekend. He went back to the vet first thing Monday morning to have surgery and came home Tuesday afternoon. They’ve given him rounds of pain management and other things, but everything looks good.
This is not the issue, though. Now that he’s home and we’re 3 days post op, he hasn’t pooped. He can walk (or hop…) around well. He’s urinated only once a day. I’m coming to the conclusion of he’s constipated and/or can’t get comfortable to squat. I’m going to start giving things like pumpkin puree starting today to help with possible constipation.
If anyone else has been in my situation, how did you help your dog get comfortable enough to go? I’m unsure if he went while he was gone for surgery and I did inform the staff that he hadn’t been throughout the whole weekend, but no one gave me updates. I plan on calling my vets office when they open, but until then I’m just seeking general advice.
