So I thought you would all like to know how Little Miss Titch's Spay went yesterday and how she is now.
It generally went well till it was time to pick her up from the vets. When we got there we had to go back home because she had developed swelling next to the stitches and the vet need to take a look and he was doing some emergency surgery on someone else's pet. when we got the call to pick her up again we was give a med pack of gut stimulant, painkiller and critical care food and a booking for a early post op check this morning due to the swelling.
I kept waking up every couple of hours to make sure she was eating. she would only eat her greens and a little bit of hay. so not huge amounts she also drank a little water but not much so I would bring her down and syringe her water and to give her a dose of gut stimulant, just 1 dose that evening. I also gave her a small amount of painkiller to top up what they gave her in the middle of the night. I wasn't meant to but she was in discomfort and sat hunched which is a sign of pain and if she is in pain she won't eat.
She had cuddles from me and she did poop and she did a pee...on me I might add, I don't mind its not her fault I'm just glad she did the pee. This morning she had her gut stimulant and some water from a syringe and a cuddle in bed. her dad gave her a piece of banana which she scoffed down...good that she is showing an interest in her favorite treats. Then at my breakfast I gave her a full dose of her painkliiler and syringed some more water and some critical care food....just to top her food up and keep her gut moving. She has also had some fresh greens as well not all of it about a 3rd but she does keep going back to nibble a bit more.
Then she had a little snooze only to pee on her blanket and her self so I had to spot clean her and dry her off, we don't want pee getting on her wound site. She groomed her self a bit and she is lying more comfortably and moving around a little bit too. This is all good. I can her eating some more greens and her apple.... Good progress....
I will let you all know how her post op check went later on today
Sounds like you are having a bit of a full tiime nursing job for the time being. Good Titch seems to be getting to be moreherself, once again. Interest in food and eating, even if a litlle asre good sighn.
ReplyDeletePOTP! Hope the vet post-op visit goes well, too.
We're glad to hear Miss Titch is home and under the excellent care of her mum and dad. Our paws are crossed that she continues to feel better and starts eating more on her own.

ReplyDeleteOh gosh, it is so very very worrisome for the parents when the little one is sick or hurting. We wish we could take it all away and make it good for them again.
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well with that sweetie. We're on to read the next post.
ReplyDeleteWe are purraying for Miss Titch! We know that she is in the best hands for taking care of a bunny (I would not doubt that you know more than most of the vets staff) Sending you hugs, purrayers and strength!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you both. Hope she feels better soon. My girl kitty had a lot of pain after her spay. We had pain meds too.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Titch is so well taken care of! <3
ReplyDeleteWe're glad Miss Titch is home, and we hope she feels better soon. Purrs
ReplyDeleteBless little Titch! She's so lucky to have such a caring family!
ReplyDeleteEmerson is so mad that he can't send her a a dozen cawwots in a nice arrangement. He complains about it as he paces the floor. He thinks you are a magnificent nurse, a really magnificent bunny mum.
