New Born Pup
Hi all. I asked a few days ago about advice with regards to removing a mass etc on my piggies. Thank you to everyone who replied and gave me reassurance.
So he went in for surgery on Tuesday 1st and I'm glad to say he came through the surgery. Apparently the second after he woke up he went straight for food. So I brought he home that evening with him a little out of still. After being told he was eating I asuyhe would be basically normal. I was dreadfully wrong and had no idea what to do. Not only did she to start with gave me the wrong syringe for his meds but also the wrong amount. She also failed to explain what I should expect for the next few days. Anyway so I was up every few hrs on Tuesday night checking on him and was really concerned he wasn't eating. He did take something of me every 3-4hrs which was better than nothing but at 7am on Wednesday I started critical care mixed with his nuggets and even though I had him on me, he was eating on his own. Anyway had to do that all day Wednesday. Fast forward to this morning friday 4th. 3 days after surgery. So he is more alert, more interested in food, especially his greens, he takes his meds well and I also started him on probiotics as well on Wednesday night. But he isn't that interested in hay or pellets. Hay he will nibble but nothing major. Pellets he won't eat unless it's mixed with strawberry juice that I got from blending strawberrys. I'm ok doing it if that will make him eat for a few days but I'm worried he won't eat it when it's normal nuggets if I carry on. I know it's still early days so I should do anything to keep him eating for now. I did try wheat bran like someone suggested but he screwed his nose up haven't tried again. I'm worried he won't eat when I'm not around
