My dog had bilateral hernia removal today. Her stomach keeps gurgling and growling. Is this normal?

Anesthesia can cause a little stomach upset for 24-48 hours after a procedure. I usually don’t get concerned about stomach noises unless there is also recurrent vomiting or diarrhea. I hope Penelope continues to recover well!
