Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

Yes, the discharge can be normal 10 days after surgery. As long as she is acting normally just monitor the discharge for now. If it persists for another week then you should take her back to the vet for a follow-up. Passing small amounts of stool can also be normal. This can be due from the anesthesia and/or medications she is taking which slow down the GI tract and disrupt the normal bacterial population in the intestines. This should resolve on it's own but you can give her a probiotic to help if you'd like. ( https://www.petsworld.in/areionvet-diarest-10-gm.html )
