Gilbert and Sullivan
Active Member
We had both our boys, Gilbert and Sullivan, (age: 6 months) neutered on Tuesday afternoon. We brought them home Tuesday night and they were being very quiet, not moving much,and not really eating. Yesterday, we noticed they were nibbling a little bit of hay, but no pellets. They are drinking water, but not a lot. They areslowly moving around more. Now today is Thursday and they are still eating hay an okayamount (not their normal amount)but not really any pellets. I was able to hand feed Gilbert a few pellets, but Sullivan won't eat any. It's really only two days since their surgery,but I want to make sure this doesn't sound alarming to anyone. As long as they are eating some hay will they be alright? Our vet is an hour away and I just want to see if this all sounds normal before I make the trip and bring them back. How many days is too many days to be off their normal eating habits after a neuter? They are probably fine and I am just being over-concerned, so any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!
