My dog won't pee after dental surgery and isn't eating. What's wrong?

Question

My 14 year old daschund had 8 teeth pulled on 13th July. He has not been eating or drinking since. I have put some water in his mouth with A syringe and today He got saline solution 250ml i/v. My question is how long can A dog go without urinating? Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund | Male | unneutered | 14 years and 4 months old | 30 lbs

The urine output will be masdibely down if he is not drinking. As long as the bladder isnt blocked not urinating is not an issue, but the issue is why he is not urinating. He must be really dehydrated and this is bad for his organs, but especially the kidneys. I would go to your vet asap as this is not normal. He may have issues since the anaesthetic or just be really sore.
