I gave him a lot of laptime last night to disguise my water syringing torture plan. We spent an hour or so just chillin' out and I'd give him a cc of water every now and then.

At one point he let out a pile of poops! They were small but it was a pile of them! He only peed on me once and it was my dark shirt (not the towel of course) so I couldn't tell if there was any blood. He seemed more himself yesterday as the day went on. He's still very tired though. Could be the body healing?

I'm off to give AB's and pain meds now. Keep him in your thoughts, as everyone else's piggys are in ours!

Always holding good thoughts for Ozzy. It's good that he's starting to feel more himself. Maybe he still hurts a bit?

As always, keeping our paws crossed for you and Ozzy.
But I thinking it is encouraging to see he is being more himself, and that is always a good sign...

"He's still very tired though. Could be the body healing?"

If I had to guess, yes, plus he's late middle age. It'll take him a little longer to bounce back than it would a younger pig.

Good thoughts for Murphy (I did not see a thread for him), and, of course, darling Ozzy too. I hope everything goes well at their vet visit.

tracis, Murph is going in today for his neuter. Not really a medical emergency so there isn't a thread. Hopefully he will not need a thread here for a long time! I'll post his info and recovery over in Cavy Chat. But thanks for keeping him in your thoughts. Any surgery is risky, even in a healthy pig.

Staples are out! Dr. A said his incision looks good.

The staples came out with some funky looking tool. He only cried once. I suspect it was when she got to the only staple that wasn't loose already.

She said I can stop the Metacam and see what happens. I told her about stopping it the other day. She seems to think he'll be ok this time. And we have a few more days of Baytril.

She said his small poops may be from the meds so we will wait and see if they get bigger after all is said and done.
