My dog won't eat kibble and is puking after his neuter, what's wrong?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Male | neutered | 3 years and 6 months old | 10 lbs

Snoopy was neutered in recent days. After that, he’s very reluctant to eat his kibbles and has been puking out any dry food that he eats. Before the surgery, I had no problem feeding him his kibbles. For now, he’s only having moist food and boiled chicken.

Keep him on boiled rice and chicken for 2-3 days, it might still be related to the anesthesia he went through, if it doesn't resolve in 3 days, take him back to the vet to get it checked and treated.
