Took Fudge to the vets on Monday with swelling after his operation..
I think the swelling has gone down a little, hes been hopping & jumping in the snow all afternoon & I think hes caught himself a little as I saw a little blood :( ... He might of done it trying to get away from hubby :(
He's eating,weeing,pooing fine..
He's still got another 2 anitbiotics to take tomorrow & Saturday, do you think the swelling should of gone right down by now ?
He back in the vets on Monday & they may have to lance it .
 
Hmmmm, well if it has bled I wonder if he should be checked over again before next week :?
Can you see where the blood has come from?
I would phone the Vet today to get their advice.

Is he on any anti-inflammatory meds? I am wondering if he may be having an inflammatory reaction to the sutures aswell as infection?

Just phoned the vets now & had a chat with them...
They seem to think that the swollen sac has burst a little, she said sometimes better out than in..
She asked me did he seem okay in himself & was he eating & pooing, ..She told me to bath the area with salt water which I have done...

He does seem fine in himself & doesn't seem to be in any pain at all.. Hes not been out of his shed as much today but was a little scared of the snow at first bless him.... The one sac looks great it's just the other one :(
She said I don't need to see them until Monday..
 
give him hay to eat but in a rack- and take all sawdust and straw away- fill his cage with towels.

the vets told me they bedding causes irritation of wounds and to not let him have any bedding for a week after his op
