Leo had PU surgery on Thursday. He was able to come home from the vet Friday, and I've had him confined since then (and will until he goes back to get his sutures out in 2 weeks), so I'm carefully monitoring his litter box usage.
His appetite hasn't been too great since he's come home. I think this is partially because he just had surgery, and partially because I'm mixing his Nutro dry and Wellness wet with Hill's c/d (even though I have some reservations). He is eating a little when I sit with him and hold the bowl or hand feed him. While he certainly isn't eating as much as normal, I think he's eating enough right now, assuming his appetite will increase as he feels better.
The post-op instructions I got mentioned that they might not need to poop for 2 days after the surgery. Today is day 3, and Leo still hasn't. Do you think there's any reason to be concerned at this point? When should I be concerned about it?
Thanks!
