So, can you pick some up today?

Nancy is correct, he could be in a life threatening position here. Check his gums, are they white or pink?

bamford · 04-01-2009, 01:32 PM

light pink

And, so is the vet doing a prescription you can pick up or ?

Oh poor little bambam. I hope he's feeling better now. If he's still not eating, I would give him a little Nutrical.

They can go longer without food then water, and I'm worried about dehydration. A test for this is to act like you picking them up by the scuff of the neck, if the skin even slightly sticks together, rush to the hospital; this indicates severe dehydration. Glad you will be seeing your vet, and hope everything goes well!

any suggestions for my poor little guy?!?!

It's a combination of both. Keep an eye on the surgical site to make sure it is free of infection. The anesthesia takes away their appetite and even causes depression. Well, in all reality, if you just had your ornaments removed, you'd be depressed, too. His little body is going through some changes right now, but he will be back to normal. Just keep an eye on him. Any gross abnormalities other than the norm, contact your vet. I hope this helps. Mine is going under the knife on April 24th. I'm hoping this will deter him from trying to mate with everything in the house...including the couch pillows...

Good luck with your furbaby...and don't worry....it's like being a new mommy....we are all worriers...

how long does a normal surgery take?

This doesn't sound right to me. It takes longer for them to come out of the anesthesia. He was have to be anesthetised, operated on and come out of the anesthesia in 45 minutes? This is not normal...

ok so heres the sadning update to my little furbaby!
after taking him back to the vets and seeing that lovely vet tec again, and asking about my poor little baby... in the end... they gave me nothing for him....they said if they give him any pain meds then he will think he is better and might run around the house and up and down the stairs. If he is not on the meds and in pain he will take it easy on himself. all in all it does make some sort of sense... but Im not satisfied and i think they sensed that... they told me I've got 7 days to bring him back at any time and it would be included within the cost of the surgery... that means nothing to me... i don't care about the money, i don't want my little man in pain (first time mommy coming out) so we're back at home and he's acting the same as before... But to end a frustrating note i will leave with some good news... he drank all the water in his bowl and 2 beggin strip treats
I'm hoping my little man is better with in time... I'll be posting..
for all those about to go under the knife...be firm with ur vet or vet tec... theres nothing worse then watching ur furball in pain and theres nothing u can do about it.
