Likely it's the antibiotics plus the general stress of the whole deal.
Small meals. Boiled rice and chicken. Consider dropping the antibiotics if he's a few days out from surgery. Post op infection is very rare, though post-op irritation around the scrotum/incision site is common.
Gosh, a great dane with fire hose diarrhea and urinary incontinence. That's unmanagable for most folks.

If he's on antibiotics they can cause some diarrhea.
I'd fast him for several hours before giving him a few small meals of very bland foods. Boiled chicken, egg, overcooked(mushy) rice along with some pumpkin. He'll be hungry but his gut needs some time to settle down.
Here's another procedure that was introduced in 2011:
"Hydraulic urethral occlusion empoys a silicon cuff around the proximal urethra. The cuff is filled with variable amounts of saline to provide mechanical obstruction to urine flow through the urethra. The amount of saline in the cuff, and the degree of resistance to flow, is adjusted using a subcutaneous injection port placed on the inner thigh."http://dogaware.com/articles/wdjincontinence.html
Unfortunately some of the procedures are only able to be used on females for spay incontinence but I don't know if that's because it's the only way they studied it or if there's an anatomical trait that makes it ineffective for male dogs.
Thanks Cathy. Amazing how many new procedures are coming out for canines.
Yes he was fasted for 10 hours then the typical boiled chicken and rice. That is all he has been fed in the past 24 hours. He has not been on any medication for nearly four days now. So I'm unsure if the absense of the medication could cause gastrointestinal issues.
Edit:I cannot see any writing on this post when I'm just viewing the thread. When i click edit i can see what i posted again.

To clarify: He's still having completely liquid diarrhea after a fast and 24 hours of bland foods?
Is he acting sick? Fever? I'd be thinking of adding an anti-diarrheal but would want to talk to the vet first even if it's just a phone call. In some situations anti-diarrheals can harm more than help.

He is having less frequent bowel movements. However they still aren't formed. Not as bad as yesturday, but still soft. Thats progress in my books! They added in some pumpkin today, perhaps thats helping?
Cathy thanks, i will watch what i accidentally delete.

He has urinated once, however his bowel movements are back to normal. Vet instructed to continue with the pumpkin until his bowel movements are in check. So all is good and well in that department.
