Surgery Today, Need Good Thoughts - Bleeding/Pyometra
Lynx, yes please put whatever you think would be helpful. If at all possible perhaps change the title to have bleeding and / or pyometra in it. Whatever you can do and think would be best.
Thanks for all the good wishes and the compliments on our pretty girl, we agree. She is such a love bug and a real trooper.
Yesterday I thought everything was fine because her poops, while small, were formed perfectly and were pellet like. Not at all soft or smooshy if she stepped on them. Today I woke up and there is a bunch of smooshy poop again. She goes back to the dr. tomorrow for a post-op checkup. I may call later today if it stays soft.
The really good news is that she has really been putting on the weight consistently. She has gone from 904 grams on Sunday to 958 grams yesterday. 54 grams in 3 days is pretty impressive, I think.

- You can quote me
"It was a long night because I just couldn't sleep, I was afraid she would go downhill if I went to sleep. Kept giving her the Critical Care, much to her dismay."
Bear in mind that as awful as this was for you, this was vital for her. You may very well have saved her life right there.
Cavies are intended to graze continuously, not eat "meals". Being able to get food into her every couple of hours makes an enormous difference.
Glad to hear she's doing well.
The soft droppings I would bet are being caused by the Baytril (enrofloxacin).

These animals are so good at hiding things in that little body. I had a pig who had had a golfball sized tumor in uterus that showed almost no signs.
Glad everything worked out well for you guys.
Sprinkle is such a cute pig!
