Hi all, our 6 year old DSH underwent surgery to remove masses in her colon at gulf coast veterinary specialists in Houston. The surgeon removed 7 masses from her colon and 1 mass from her lymph node on 9/17/2021. The surgeon performed a resection to rejoin the remaining pieces of her GI tract. She came home on 9/21/2021.
She is on gabapentin twice daily to keep her calm and for pain management. She was on clavamox, which she stopped on 9/26/2021. We are keeping her in a crate while she recovers. She has not moved much and has been lying in her litter box. Sometimes she tries to use her litter box, but mostly she is leaking poop all over the crate.
Does anyone have experience with fecal incontinence after bowel surgery? How long did it last?
Also, we just got the biopsy results. No cancer detected. Sam has Feline Gastrointestinal Eosinophilic Sclerosing Fibroplasia (FGESF). It is very rare and we are learning more about it.
