Echo had his neuter post op check-up yesterday and his abdominal wound has an infection.
One of his "man bits" oops was retained so they had to go thorough his tummy, and now he has an infection. Poor wee man

He's on Baytril twice daily, and we've to moniter whats going in and out (if you know what I mean), but is there anything else we can do??
The vet says he shouldn't need painkillers unless he stops eating, but should we have insisted???

If he has an infection I'm sure he will need analgesia (usually metacam). I'd ring the vet and request some if I were you.

Sending vibes for Echo.

Ditto, if the Vet had a post op' infection after having his testicle removed from his abdomen (or her ovaries hoicked out) I think he/she would expect some anti-inflammatory analgesia...........

Thank you for the replies!!

I will get the OH on it, I'm at work at the moment but will get him to go and get some.

Do you know if will have to take Echo with him to the Vet, or can he just pick the prescription up?

Shouldn't need to take Echo - just ask to collect some metacam
