And it continues ... the neutered bun.

Young Bun
Oh my, so like I have posted before, my bun got neutered Friday morning, I let him out of his house a bit on Saturday night and he has been out for a good part of today.

Well, I haven't wanted to stress him out by trying to look at the area to make sure everything looked good, but today I did for a second, and I'm actually wondering if that's how it is supposed to look? I mean, I know what a cat neuter looks like, and usually you can't really see the incision. Well, I can definitely see the one on the left, it is a U shape almost? And it is about, I would guess 1/6 - 1/8 of an inch wide? Both testicles are swollen, but not terribly red, is that normal?

I am calling the vet in the morning, but am wondering if it is more urgent? I think it may hurt him as well, as he is acting painful. Is pain medication regularly prescribed for a bun after surgery? I think we always sent kitties home on Metacam at the hospital I worked at.

*sigh* always something!

If You Are Worried Def Ring The Vets In The Morning . ;)
 
Thanks, that put me at ease! I phoned the vet this morning and they gave him some pain medication. Torbutrol none the less! I was expecting Metacam!

It was a bit of a challenge to give it to him, as he is not wanting to be touched TOO much since he's hurting :( I hope it makes him feel better!

Oh, and it's THREE times a day! Phew!
