Hey, my bun Snowball got spayed yesterday. Her surgery was done around 1100 and later when I talked to the vet she said she was eating some hay. I took Snowball home around 600.
All she's been doing is laying in her litterbox, and looks really pathetic. (poor thing) The vet sent us home with meloxicam twice a day...I think it's .27ml. She's about 3 pounds.
I've been watching her all night and all day and she hasn't eaten or drank anything.
I've been trying everything she loves to try and tantalize her to eat. She took one bite of oats and a half a raisin. I tried apple, dried strawberries, banana, lettuce, even canned pumpkin.
So around 12 p.m. I gave her 3 ccs (small syringe fulls) of diluted pumpkin. We mixed it with water. I am thinking tonight I should maybe mash up some pellets. I don't know how much I should feed her or how often? Or if I should try gatorade or pedialyte or something too.
If I took her to the vet I don't know what they could do? I know they have critical care, which would basically be the same thing I'm doing right now wouldn't it, force feeding? Can you get critical care anywhere besides the vet office? I'm really worried about my baby and I hope her pain meds are working too.
Oh, also she's been pooping a little bit, but the poops are getting stuck on her butt. I think she may have peed once a little while after we force fed her.
