Neutering

[mso]

Male guinea pig got neutered today and it’s only been 7 hours since I picked him up. He’s nibbling on some food (a few pieces of parsley. Some hay, half of his vitamin c treat), has peed a few times but only has a few poops. Is this a normal amount and he’s just low energy or should I call his vet?

I attach a guide which explains how to care for a post op piggy - daily weight checks, syringe feeding etc to ensure he is getting enough hay and fibre.

Ensure he is on adequate pain relief once the surgery cocktail has worn off

Best wishes for his recovery
