He's quite panicked when I put the collar on him, so I've stopped trying.
He also isn't eating his food yet. I've been feeding him cooked chicken and rice and scrambled egg this morning, just to get him to eat. Doc says the pain meds affect their eating, and it's okay. |
Mya took awhile to get back to normal too. She wasn't pooping BEFORE the surgery so she had to have an enema, sigh...but afterward she would go when she had to...so keep an eye on it and if he still hasn't gone, go in for an enema.
Anyway...he will start eating soon enough...they are just nervous-it is a pretty invasive surgery. I just gave Mya a lot of love and attention. I put a heating pad under a blanket on her bed to try and ease the pain.
I hope he starts livening up! Don't worry he will eventually!!
