Thank you MightyMax
Yes, he's been given metacam to take home but I was told not to give him any today (eh, yesterday.. losing track) as he's already had a dose at the vet. He's been on metacam since the dental and before any trouble showed up, though I've yet to give him a dose myself (not complaining!)
I hope your visit goes well and your little boy recovers soon. Please don't wory about replying, you have more important things to deal with
Thank you Jane
Yes, to a degree but not in as much detail as I'd like. The vet seems certain neither are issues, but I'm not. I'm still strongly considering getting a second opinion but will see how Pixel goes.
Of course the ideal would be to be able to talk to the vet who performed it but obviously that's not an option. I must tell her she's not allowed to go away again!
I just had a very long fight to try to get him to take the critical care (he had the ranitidine first, surprisingly with no problem) but he
will not take the critical care. He crawls up my shoulder to get away from the syringe
Maybe I could get him to take a little with help but there's no one to help me at the moment.
I did instead try mashing some science selective in warm water (even threw a basil leaf in for flavour as he seems into it at the moment - took it out before putting in the syringe
) and he seemed a lot more agreeable to that. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to like even the large feeding syringe so it was very, very watery and probably not of much benefit. But that was the best I could do.
There are a nicer number of droppings now - small but heading in the right direction. And so far I haven't seen him drop food again. He's not eating huge amounts but he is eating often. He's quite bouncy and normal looking otherwise.
I did just catch what
may have briefly been tooth grinding though..
Sorry for any typo's/mistakes. The lack of sleep is catching up now
:lol: Didn't sleep at all monday night (worrying), only a couple of hours at best tuesday night and now staying up tonight.
I guess I should be used to it by now :roll:
