Young Bun
My bun was neutered yesterday. The last time he ate was yesterday at about 3.30 pm before we went to vet.
I got him home at about 6.30 pm and in about 3-4 hours he looked perfectly fine.
Yesterday, at about 10 pm, he pooped for the first time. He had normal sized poops. At about 11pm, he made 1 bit of his favourite treat, and nothing more. I left a little piece of apple in his cage, fresh vegetables and lots of hay, but in the morning everything was still there. Today, he drank a little in the morning and he does show interest in food, he just doesn't really wanna eat. He ate a little of hay today, really, just a little, and the rest was a few teaspoons of his pellets mixed with chamomile tea that he licked at about noon and later. About an hour ago, he licked 4 nearly full teaspoons of mashed apple. I also gave him about 7ml of water by syringe.
How should I put it... he doesn't really lack appetite, he just doesn't want to eat it by himself, but if I gave him he eats most of it.
In the morning, the poops were normal size, two times later they were small, sticking together and were a bit more glaring, shiny or whatever... it didn't look like there would be any mucus around, just more wet. But maybe all the poops are always like that, and I just don't take a closer look when he makes them.
I don't really know what to think of. The second day of neutering, should he have NORMAL appetite or just a little of it is ok? Is it possible that the poops are small just because he eats a little, not enough? Maybe he could be a bit constipated from metacam or something?
I will hand feed him again later. Do you think I can wait until tomorrow and if he doesn't get better? If it could be stasis, would tomorrow be too late?
And another important information: besides little eating and pooping, he acts normal. He doesn't come out of the cage to get cuddled, but he enjoys it in his cage and lies around, chilling like always...
