Dog can't pee after bladder stone surgery. Should I get a second opinion?

Question

Dog had surgery for bladder stones Wednesday morning. Monday morning started getting sick, and having trouble going pee again. Dr said dog is constipated and gave him 3 enemas. Is this normal? Should something else be done? I'm unsure and same dr missed the stones first visit and just gave my dog enemas claiming he couldn't pee because he was constipated.

I personally don't like to question or contradict another vet's treatment, especially since I can't see Einstein in person, but I would be concerned that there is another cause to his trouble going pee. It can happen that bladder stones are missed in surgery, or new ones can form, and I would be concerned that this could be causing his problems with urinating. I would recommend getting a second opinion from another vet as soon as possible.
