I took my dog in on tuesday to have her teeth cleaned and 2 extractions. She pooped before the surgery and after the surgery. She pooped Wednesday morning and was still kind of out of it. She didn’t poop at all on Thursday but was in a much better mood and acting more herself. It is now Friday morning and still no poop. Since she had extractions the vet told me to only feed her soft food. She was eating wellness core reduced fat formula before surgery but for the wet food I got her blue buffalo. She has a good appetite. Wednesday it was hard to get her to drink water but Thursday she drank more. She didn’t pee as much Wednesday but on Thursday she went more like usual. The vet prescribed her rimadyl, tramadol, and cephalexin for an antibiotic. She hasn’t tried to poop and doesn’t strain to poop and her last poop was perfectly normal. When should I worry about it?

Thank you, I called the vet and the one who performed her dental is out of the office. They just told me to keep an eye on her over the weekend and to call back Monday if she hasn’t pooped yet. I should also mention that my dog is an ivdd dachshund and she has nerve damage in her lumbar spine. She can still move and feel her legs but not enough to walk on her own. Could this nerve damage accompanied with the anesthesia she was under cause her digestion to be slowed?
