Boris's neuter U/D 16/1 wound not looking good at all :(

Carried on from back up RU. This morning boris seems a lot more settled. He's eaten everything I left out and is munching hay as I type :D he's rather cautious about me touching him but I think that's just because he doesn't want me to touch were he's probably sore.

Great news Liz :wave: I've not been using the back up forum so didn't know he'd been for the snip. Glad he's doing ok :D
 
That's wonderful news, I hope he hasn't been nibbling on his wound any more!
 
Thankyou :) I got in today and he'd eatan a lot of hay and there's plenty of poops (all looking good) and wee's. I've had a look at his wound and it looks ok, looked quite a mess yesterday from where he'd made himself bleed 3 times :( But it looks a lot better now. xx
 
:wave: fab news that boris is doing well. i wasn't on the back up forum so didn't know he was going for the snip ;)
 
Can't believe it, went for his post op check up today, he's been eating fine/showing no signs of pain etc and when I've checked his wound it looked ok. However his skin is dark and looks, for lack of a better word, rather grotty and doesn't look good at all. Have no idea how I've missed this :( His pen is kept clean and he has nothing in there that could have caused infection. He's got some medicine, can't quite remember what, to have for 5 days, he's back on friday unless it gets worse. He's acting fine in himself, hope I can get the medicine in him ok.

So sorry to hear this Liz :( I expect he has a course of anitbiotics. Fingers crossed he takes his meds & they start to work quickly. The fact that he's eating & behaving normally is a good sign :D
 
oh no my lovely :( got all the vibes i can muster coming boris's way. as long as he is acting his normal self im sure that that is a good sign and lets hope this is just a little blip on the recovery scale xxx
 
Is it bruising ?

This can happen and it can look awful. But it usually fully resolves within a week.

The vet said it could be and he has antibiotics to prevent infection, which I've just spread onto some parsley/carrot and he has eaten all :) thankyou Susie and Jane xx

ETA: thankyou also little-Laura and shell :) xxxx
