Molly had an operation on friday to remove an abscess below his ear. When he came back home friday evening, he ate like a pig Yesterday he ate a bit of fresh veg in the morning and ate hay and grass throughout the day. But last night I noticed he wasn't eating anything, so i had to syringe his food.
This morning he still wan't eating and his poo was small and dry. Took him to the vets for a post op check, the vet felt his tummy and said it feels ok, also took his temp and that was ok, his wound is also doing well. The vet has given me oral metacam (which he gave todays dose at the vetS) and gut stimulating medicine. He came back home and started munching hay and a dandy lion (yay).
Since then hes gone back to not eating and hes sat in the corner of his hutch grinding his teeth. I have syringed him a bit of science recovery which I am giving small amounts every hour. We don't have any poo yet. Is there anything else I can do for him? Its so distressing not seeing him eat because usually hes such a little piglet.
Thanks for your help
