Anytime soon. I don't think it's quite panic stations yet but definitely needs keeping an eye on. Work on the basis that she didn't eat much yesterday so not much in, not much to come out. If she's eating well so soon after a big op. that's really good at this stage and very, very likely the poops will follow shortly. As she's eating well at a rough guess I would expect at least a few poops by midday/early afternoon.

I'd be more worried if she was reluctant to eat.
 
If she is not doing all of the following: eating/pooing/weeing/drinking 24 hours after the op I would advice you to take her back to the vet so they can give additional pain relief, gut stimulant etc. I would phone them now as they may close early it being a saturday xx
