My rabbit isn't pooping after surgery and is hiding. Is he okay?

Question

Hi My Netherlands dwarf male had his nutrition yesterday. After the operation he ate some and he popped som, even today morning, but after he breakfast had his last poo... He still eat his hay and some greens but still nothing, he's just hiding and sleeping and still no poo. I'm a bit worrying now. Tomorro morning we have the routine visit to the vet. Do you think is alright? Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | neutered | 6 months and 27 days old | 2.2 lbs

Make sure he gets enough fluid , you may have to syringe the water into your rabbit. If you can get "Critical Care" you can mix that with water and feed him this if he stops eating. You can also take some of his pellets (or hay) and grind them into a powder, mix it with water and syringe it to him. This will tide him over until Monday when you see the vet with her. Once the intestine works again he should poop again.
