He was in Rimadyl and Flagyl through yesterday....
He's just...leaking a bit when he's napping/sleeping and relaxed.
A quick Google search suggested that diarrhea isn't unexpected with either of these drugs. Could the leakage be a result of the combination of the drugs?
- Rimadyl ... potential side effects, which can range from mild to serious.... Diarrhea
- The most common side effect of Flagyl (aka metronidazole) is diarrhea...
I don't know how long the drugs will stay in his system, but I'm leaning towards the idea that he would return to normal once the drugs dissipate. I am also (curious) why your DVM didn't think about the side effects of the medication(s) as possible contributing factors and jumped straight into another procedure.
(Doggie diapers are always an option until the issue is resolved.)
