ailsas mum Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Abby as some of you know was spayed on Tuesday, she had a dump on Wednesday night but nothing since then. I had her on chicken and scrambled eggs until Thursday night, she refused food on Friday morning and has eaten okay since then. She is quite overweight ( nearly 3 kilos ) and I do have her on a diet, she is fed on Burns with some fresh veg in it to bulk it out and she is getting no tit bits. She is running about playing and tormenting the life out of Arran and she is showing no signs of pain or discomfort, her tablets from the vet finish tonight. Should I be worried that she's not passed anything or am I just getting my knickers in a twist, she is not trying to pass anything but she is farting a lot .

Terri Poor Abby Can't offer any real advice as I'm not 100% sure about doggy digestion. Are the tablets antibiotics? If so, some types can cause digestive upsets - dire rear or constipation (in humans). Constipation only becomes a problem for humans when it becomes very difficult and/ or painful to poop. As Abby seems OK in herself maybe not to worry too much Again, with humans, eggs can have a constipating effect. Hope this helps a bit and hope the wind doesn't blow too much in your part of the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ailsas mum Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Thank you , I am probably worrying about nothing it just seems an awful long time not to go. I am hoping that it's just because her body it using all the food I'm giving her and that there is no waste to come out, I think that's what I mean .

Jacobean Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) The anaesthetic and medication will have made her constipated. The chicken etc will have too. I would just feed her normally now and wait for nature to take it's course. I've just been spayed too. I know how she feels. You don't want them going to the loo straight after in any case. She'll probably start going tomorrow. Edited January 19, 2008 by Jacobean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpole Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Maybe try a little lactulose from the chemist to help her along a little constipation is common after spaying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzycharm Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 At the kennels I worked at years ago, we always had caster oil incase of constipation in cats. Worked a treat and they were fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ailsas mum Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 She had a HOOOOOGE one last night, it seems that as soon as someone post about something like this things start moving doesn't it . Unfortunately I was up with Arran for a lot of the night, he was bringing up bile everywhere, he seems okay now we've been for our walk and he has eaten his breakfast. I now have the pleasant task of cleaning an 8ft. x 8ft cream rug . Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abby Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I find your posts about Abby most disconcerting - every time I see the headline I think *who's posting about me???*. Needless to say, I just had to look at this one... btw congratulations, she's gorgeous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
