Just got back from the vets, Daphne is home and in bed recuperating. The wound across her side and back is much larger than I expected it to be 😳. She's still abit out of sorts and has another vets appointment in 5 days to check how she's healing,
 
Aw, so glad she is home, at least she can recuperate and she will be happier in her normal surroundings. Hoping she makes a full recovery x
 
Pleased it's gone well and she's back home bless her. Sure she'll be back to her usual self in the morning when the dozy meds wear off :)
Hope she recovers well, it's always scary when there's a big wound but these little ones recover so amazingly compared to us humans! x
 
I’m glad all has gone well.
I found the first few days after Jemimah’s op last year the most stressful worrying about her pain meds and getting her eating again.
You just want them to be better immediately and forget that, as with humans, it takes a few days
Hope Daphne does pick up quickly and you can relax
 
Thank you for all the kind words. Daphne is still groggy and hasn't eaten yet(she's had some critical care food in a syringe). I remember after Godfrey (r.i.p) had his tumour removed it took him until the next day to eat normally again. She'll get plenty of rest and spoiled rotten while she recovers.💖
 
Daphne is still not good only eating the critical care food, and she really doesn't seem herself at all. If there's no improvement I will take her back to the vets tomorrow. I'm very concerned about her my late skinny pig ,Godfrey made a much quicker recovery from his op ( which was a serious one . In fact he was only given a 50/50 chance of getting through it😳).
 
Piggies are like humans in that they all recover at a different pace.
Please go back to the vet if you’re worried- I was back at the vet with Jemimah the day after her surgery as I was worried.
She needed extra pain killers and they gave her another boost of gut stimulant.
 
Sorry to hear that bless her. Yeah I'd pop her back if you're worried. Glad she's perked up a bit though.
 
It was about 5 days after Christian's op that he started eating properly. I was given a gut stimulant for him. I didn't think I would be so happy to come down in the morning to find he'd chomped through most of his hay pile in the night.
 
I'm still a bit concerned about Daphne, she's really not eating as much as I would like ( she's usually a bit of a guts !) she has a follow up vets appointment on Monday so I'll mention my concerns then. I sadly did have to separate her from her sister, so maybe that's added to her not acting quite herself ( not that they are particularly close , her sister, Joan hasn't missed Daphne at all !)
 
Sorry not been on in a couple of days, hope Daphne's appointment goes well and she's munching more x
Gorgeous Jeremy :)
 
Well I heard from the vets today and the lump was an abscess. The vet is refunding me as the lump was never sent for biopsy as it was obvious what it was from the start, but one of the vets made a mistake and forgot to let me know. Atleast I know now and Daphne should make a full recovery.
 
So I've noticed Daphne's urine is orange and I'm abit concerned. She still seems fine in herself ( eating and drinking normally). I'm going to call the vet later and get their opinion.
 
Took Daphne to the vets today and everything seems okay. The orange urine could be due to slight dehydration after the op or the medication she was taking. I just have to keep an eye on her. But the wound has healed really well and she has a good covering of fur now too.
