Sakura - Medical Thread
- Lynx
- Celebrate!!!
I went looking for info on that type of tumor and found it commonly occurring "often forming at the base of the tail." ;-)

Perhaps it is related to a trichofolliculoma.

- Let Sleeping Pigs Lie
Sakura stopped eating. I suspect the Enrofloxacin (Baytril), though the vet's office disagrees with me.
We had our first handfeeding session today. It wasn't too bad, all things considered. She even ate a few veggies for me afterwards.
Her weight was 1178g before the feeding, and 1186g after.
I do not remember who suggested the wonderful idea of using the big syringe that comes with the Critical Care to fill the tiny 1cc syringes, but it was SUCH a big help. Thank you!

- You can quote me
Mumble.
Given the looks of her incision I'd want to stop it now, unless Dr. Wright thinks there is an active infection requiring Baytril. Otherwise I'd want the last week to be Bactrim, under the assumption this is for pre-emptive postsurgical care only.
I suspect you feel the same. See how she does but if she gets any worse regarding the AB I'd want to make some noise over at the vet's office if it were me. I hate to even write that because they have done such an outstanding job up to now.
She may also need a little more Metacam, but that's not for sure. Don't hesitate to ask them for more if you think she needs it (which I know you would anyway).

- 4 the Good of all Pigs
Baytril always messes up my pig's appetite too. If she's doing well, I would go with Bactrim too. She seems to be healing fine.
But, if she's taking the CC well, see how she does over the next few days.
