Well hello Bandit and family! Your post has been approved and we look forward to hearing more about Bandit as his recovery continues. You can be assured that not pooping for several days after this surgery is perfectly normal. It's basically because of the combination of the pain meds and just going through the surgery recovery process. It's great that he's eating and drinking and peeing!

Members here often find that pumpkin is good to help get things moving. You want the natural kind without any added sugars, etc. Organic pie filling usually fits the bill. Depending on his sides you just want to give him a teaspoon full or maybe a tablespoon full again, depending on his size. Of course, we are not vets and not giving good advice so check with your vet about how much to give him.

Some members have found steam squash also helps keep things moving. Keep us posted and let us know how things are going. If you have any questions, we are glad to help, okay?

Hugs

Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
