My 6 year old bichon had feces impacted all the way into his colon. about 2 days ago he was put under anesthetic and had as much of the feces removed as possible. Now he is drinking water more and eating small amounts but he is still struggling to go to the bathroom. his stool is bloody and he is only getting very small amounts at a time out. Is there anything I can do to help the process? Should I give him a few more days before taking him back to the vet? Im very worried.

Hi

Suggest phone your vet and get their advice if you haven't already, especially as you are worried. Having dealt with this problem your vet should be able to say more about what to do next and provide further treatment if its needed.
