I hope the surgery went well. How is Nessie doing?

Update- Brought Nessy home this past Saturday. I kept her at the vet a couple of extra days to be sure.

Her incision is pretty big. The lump was larger and deeper than expected.

She is on antibiotics and pain medication. Nessy doesn't want critical care. I end with more on me than she does inside of her.

She is eating-tomato, lettuce, red pepper. She has stood on her hind legs, balancing while she shoves her nose as far as possible through the grids begging for a treat.

Nessy is pooping up a storm, though her poops seem a littler smaller than normal. Still is an impressive output. Can see how she is doing this due to her being on disposable pads.

Does seem a little more skittish than usual.

Scheduled appointment this Saturday to have her staples removed.

Standing on her hind legs soon after surgery--that's a determined pig! Sounds like she is doing well. Is she eating hay?

Nessy, though she looks 'tired about the eyes' seems to be doing well. She wheeks at me for her chow.

I took her to the vet yesterday to have her staples and sutures removed.

She does seem to be sleeping alot, even for a guinea pig, but that could be 'overanxious' mom here.
