We just had our boy Sumo fixed (or broken) whatever you want to call it on Tuesday (he is 18 months old) and he does not seem to be recovering as quickly as we thought he would.
The incision looks fine (though he does lick it) but he really does not like to walk around. He will eventually go outside to do his business, but looks very uncomfortable while doing so.
The main issue is that it is now Thursday (third day since surgery) and he still does this weird thing where he will get up to walk and instead will do his best to run to where he wants to go and then sit down immediately. Sometimes he will run/sit three or four times before getting to his desired destination. Like it it hurts so he runs to get there quickly, but then sits to relieve the pain.
Is this normal? If so, how long will it last? He will also whine a bit or do a sort of growl, though this seems like it is out of frustration with the situation.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
