Surgery Today, Need Good Thoughts - Bleeding/Pyometra
She is doing so well! She looks so much better than she did last night. She's alert, snuggly, eating and pooping. They sent us home with Critical Care as well as 4 medicines, a syringe for the critical care and a syringe for each of the meds. She's eating her veggies now and I am keeping track of how much she is actually eating.
The medicines they gave us are Meloxicam, Metoclopramide, Metronidazole, and Enrofloxacin.
I'll post pictures later. Thanks again for all of the help and support, I really do appreciate it.

Yes, I will make certain she continues eating. She's still eating her veggies and now her pellets. She hasn't eaten any hay yet though. I'm getting alot of poop but they are not consistent in shape and size. Would this be normal after a major surgery and just beginning to eat today?
Now the poop is getting pretty squishy, still in the shape of normal poop but when you pick it up it is really wet and squishy. She's puffy and just has an "I feel icky" look to her. I'm not leaving her side.
New poop, now it is squishy piles, not shaped. I'm a little concerned.

Eating some hay and getting .08ml of Meloxicam. I just gave her the 2nd doses of all 4 meds. Poop is and has been not formed for a few hours now. I'm staying with her until her poop is normal again because I'm concerned.
Even though she is eating should I give her Critical Care since she is having diarrhea? Will that help or make it worse? I'm really getting worried.

Can you tell if she has true diarrhea (a watery mess) or very soft, unformed droppings?
True diarrhea is an emergency.

Critical Care contains probiotics, which may help with the diarrhea.
If you are mixing the Critical Care with fruit/juice/veggies, you may want to stop. She probably should not get any fresh food (fruits and veggies) until her droppings become more normal.
Offer her lots of Critical Care and hay. Unflavored Pedialyte may be helpful, to keep her hydrated.
You may want to contact your vet and ask if you should continue giving her the Enrofloxacin (Baytril).
