Obie was neutered on Thursday, and has been on painkillers (Metacam) for the last three days. Today was his last dosage. We have noticed that it has given him diarrhea since he came home.
Since today was his last dose, I am not worried that the diarrhea will continue, but we just noticed after taking him out for the third time this morning that this time he had very trace amounts of blood in his stool. I personally think it is from straining too much to try and go, and now that the meds are done he should be getting back to normal, but is this something I should be worried about? Could this be a complication for something?
Otherwise, his incision and stitches are heeling well, there was a bit of bruising and of course swelling, but every day it looks better and better.
Thoughts are appreciated - thanks!
