Hi Darlene,
I am glad Bailey is home with you. Poor little one . I would also try and feed him very small amount of food, canned is easier . He needs to keep his blood sugar up too, plus a little water .
My puppy Miely , she is 5 months old, recently had to have surgery , the vet placed an e collar around her neck , to avoid getting to the stitches. She hates wearing it , but it is a lifesavor. I am having to feed Miely by hand, and give her water by the spoonfuls.
The vet placed her on pain meds , every 24 hours, and antibiotics twice a day, every 12 hours.
I had to leave Miely overnight, hardest thing for me to ever do, I could not stop crying.
My puppy is being very needy , and clingy right now. I just brought her home last night. The vet told me I could feed her that very night, so I have , she did fine .
i would call your vet if your Bailey continues to cry, because I would think he is in pain, needs pain meds. It is really good that he can't reach the stitches. Makes it a lot easier to care for him.
Give him lots of TLC, and try to feed him a little bit of food.
