Hello, this is my first time writing here and I hope I can find some answers and help 
One of my ladies (3 years old) went through splenectomy because of a tumor and spaying because of cysts at the same time this Tuesday 10/09.
The surgery went well, she was eating immediately after that, not as much as before but still has appetite and interest in food. She stayed at the clinic for 2 nights so they can monitor her and on Thursday we brought her home. Everything was explained by the vets how to take care of her after this big surgery and I am doing everything to make her feel comfortable.
After we brought her home she was interested in her veggies, ate some, ate hay, ate her pellets and was drinking water as well ( this was probably the 3 time that I saw her drinking and she is still drinking a lot more than before, I guess that is good, so she can stay hydrated). Unfortunately she started having some really soft and smelly poops and when she is trying to poop sometimes she is making noise like she feels pain, I can see her trying to pass the poo. She is pooping but her droppings are very small, each and every is a different shape, thin and long, round and are sticking together. I stopped her veggies, the vets told me to give her Degan every 12 hours, not 8, because this can cause the soft and smelly droppings. So yes, the droppings got firmer but still strange shapes and she still looks in pain when passing a dropping.
Also her pee when fresh is like normal color but when it starts drying turns pinkish/light purple. The vets told me that it’s normal for the pee to be pinkish because of the surgery, but still it’s odd to me that it changes color.
She is on Anagin 500mg/ml - 0.1ml every 8 hours, meloxicam - 0.2ml once a day, vit C - 1ml once a day, and I stopped today her Degan - 0.1ml.
What could be the reason for the pain when passing droppings and the shapes of them 5 days post op? Is this normal after such op? What can I do to ease her pain? Any advise and suggestions will really help us.
Also we have a booked appointment for Tuesday to check her.
Sorry for the long post but wanted to explain everything and I hope I can get some answers for my sweet girl
Thank you all in advance!
