Jasper was neutered yesterday at about 12.30 pm, He was very miserable yasterday but only as you would expect.

This morning he seemed a little bit better(washing himself etc) still doesn't seem to be eating or drinking very much though, just had a look through his litter tray and he has done hardly any poos and the ones he's done are really tiny like ball bearings.

we have let him out and he was running round the living room ( not as fast as usual though) he's gone back in his cage now and he still hasn't poo'd he doesn't want his parsley or his broccoli.

What do we do now and how long before things are serious???????????
 
Maybe you could supplement what he has eaten by syringing softened pellets and water, and then take him to the vets if he's no better tomorrow?
It's very important that he doesn't get dehydrated.
 
Hello,
I had my two males neutered on monday and they ate very little to begin with. Infact they didn't start eating their pellets until late last night (wednesday). All they seemed to want to eat was hay, which is a good thing, but I have managed to tempt them to eat a few small cabbage and spinach leaves along with some carrot, offered regularly. It does seem to take them a couple of days to get back to normal.
I hope your bun is alright and is now eating a bit more, if not then I would definitely get him seen by a vet.
 
He seems a bit better today, not eating any pellets yet either he's been eating loads of hay.

He doesn't sem to be drinking much water but when I cleaned his tray out this morning it was soaked, his poos are a tiny bit bigger than yesterday but still small.

We've had a look at his wound and it looks like he's pulled the stitches out, can't be sure though, apart from that he seems fine :D
 
As long as they are eating something its good they will improve in time, the time to panic is if they are not eating atall by the second day. hope all goes well . val
 
Thank You all

Been back to the vets today and he says everything is just fine, wound healing ok, Jasper is eating and drinking fine again now, so hopefully lead to a good recovery :)
