Spay and Constipation

[Janeyk]

  glad to hear

[Kay and Penny]

not at all

spending an inordinate time peering at the contents of litter trays is almost obligatory on Purrs

you'll find these useful

We have poo!!!!!!! Is it wrong i'm excited about poo?!

[Janeyk]

Glad you've checked it out    I have to say when I asked my vet a couple of times in the past over Schui she was reluctant and said see how it goes and then infact I never ended up getting any.

Saw vet yesterday, nothing to be felt abdominally and he's not worried. If nothing by saturday when stitches out then laxatives.
Can stop worrying now

No poop today. New fresh litter in trays and had some no cone time...she just sat in her tray and washed! Bless her.
Will call vet tomorrow x

[Janeyk]

I don't think there will be anything to worry about, probably just a change in her system that's caused this plus she's not eaten much.  If worried though I'd just give your vet a call 

[Kay and Penny]

the cone may well put her off too - most  cats like to look down when they are digging their holes in preparation for pooing

be prepared to remove it temporarily if necessary

[LittleOne]

Thanks Trigger, she's not distressed at all, just put out she has a cone i think would be her only complaint!
Plus she's not eaten much since the op, today was the first day she had a good meal, I'm probably just panicing having not been responsible for a cat before!
Will see how she goes the next day or 2.

I think you must be guided by her behaviour - if she shows signs of distress she may need some medication

I don't think constipation is a dangerous condition in itself, but you don't want her to be doing a lot of straining when she has stitches

I've done a quick search but didn't find an answer.

Bo was spayed on Wednesday but hasn't had a poo yet (unless she's doing it somewhere she shouldn't  ). I've read elsewhere that up yo 3 days of not pooing following a spay is fine but when should I be getting worried?
We missed our post op check today due to my social anxiety but if I can i'll be phoning them first thing monday...unless you think this warrants a call to the emergency vet?

Thanks
