Cello went in for a dental today as she wasn't keen on eating her pellets and the vet could see a few spurs. She's been eating a bit of hay and some dandelions since she came back but wasn't that interested in the softened pellets I offered her so I'm not sure if she needs to be syringe fed or not :? She resented it a lot when I had to syringe feed her on Monday when she was in stasis as she's still a bit nervous and doesn't like being handled. I'd rather not stress her out by syringe feeding if I don't need to but obviously I don't want her going hungry and her guts to slow down.
It's also pretty difficult to leave tasty foods like veg in for her as Buzz is a massive pig and eats it all (he gave himself caecal dysbiosis on Monday from eating too much :roll: ) but Cello doesn't particularly like eating if he's not there which is a pain.
So anyone have any advice as to whether I should still syringe feed her or not? Oh I also have to syringe her some fibreplex this evening so I guess I could give her that and a feed at the same time?
