New puppy not eating, drinking, or peeing after neuter. Is he okay?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

We adopted a puppy today and he was neutered on 3/13/19. He has not wanted to eat this afternoon or drink water since 1:30 pm he has being sleeping since we got home at 3:30 pm. Also he has not peed or pooped. Should I be worried.

Moving into a new home is stressful especially after a surgery. Keep an eye on him tonight and if he's still not eating and drinking the morning, then I would be concerned and have him seen by a vet.
