Clover is getting spayed Dec 2nd

I took her out a few hours ago to pee. She seems weak and is having a little trouble moving around like she's in pain. She did have a good drink of water. I took her out and she peed and tried to poo. She's having a little trouble with the poo. I just took her out again and she seems very uncomfortable moving around and again tried to poo and not much came out. She had another drink and is laying down but is looking around. I'm worried she's in pain? Maybe she got a bone stuck in her some where. She was chewing last night and half of it is gone. Would I know it if she's really sick cause of the bone stuck in her? The vet said she'd try to throw up even with the anti-throw up meds if she has that problem. I'm just concerned because she just looks very sick and worried. (can dogs worry? It sure looks like worry to me)

If it's a bone stuck in her, will she be ok over night? I don't want her to stop breathing over night while I'm sleeping or something....

If a bone is stuck in her and it won't come out, she could very well have blockage and I would take her in right away for it as blockage can be fatal. Only a vet would be able to tell you if she has a blockage though with x-rays.

The thing is I don't know if it's a blockage. I asked the vet about it and she says she doesn't think she does but she can't say for sure. She did blood work to be sure she wasn't bleeding anywhere. She's not. She pood fine this morning, and she did poo some this evening. She wouldn't be able to if she was blocked?

Here are signs of blockage and you can see if she is showing signs. But I would take her to the vet, anyways first thing tomorrow.

It's only been two days since she was operated. Maybe she's just feeling very tender and sleepy. I know it's hard to watch them and think the worst but by tomorrow you might see an improvement. Good luck to both of you, hope everything is back to normal very soon . I know how hard it is to worry about our dogs if they act the least bit different than they should.

I think my boyfriend is getting upset because of how paranoid I am :rolleyes: I ended up calling the vet again and they said she's probably fine and if i'm still worried by morning I should get an x-ray to be sure. But all her symptoms are normal considering she's recently had surgery, threw up a lot, and is on meds that make her sleepy. I think the vet maybe should have given me the shots, not Clover :o You must think I'm a little crazy. My boyfriend does :rolleyes:

Not crazy at all. I would be in the same way with any of my pets! :)

Nah, you're just a normal concerned owner, I'm sure there are a lot of owners who are a lot worse than you are, so do not feel bad about being concerned for your girl.

I am sure you will see an improvement tomorrow as others have said. Just try to get some rest and relax some, that's what Clover seems to be doing!

Same here.;)

She's still not feeling well today. Made her some rice and she didn't want it. I called the vet, waiting to hear back. Likely going back for more tests. Probably won't have money for Christmas presents this year :/

Oh sweetie...I am so sorry you are going through this. I didn't see these posts yesterday.

As long as she is drinking and peeing she probably just needs to mend herself.

Hoping all goes well.

I have an appointment in an hour. Going to get x-rays and maybe see about putting her on some IV fluids since she has only had maybe 2 meals since thursday night. I'll see what the vet thinks. I didn't sleep last night and I feel so sick with worry.

Pawsitive thoughts and prayers for Clover and {{{hugs}}} for you.
