Ellen Cookie
Junior Guinea Pig
Ralph my 6 year old guinea pig had surgery to remove a bladder stone yesterday. It was quite a mission of an operation as it wasn't in the bladder itself but in the urethra. He came through and stayed at the vets overnight for monitoring.
He's been home since 11.45am and has pooed and weed, and had some metacam at 1.30pm. It's now 5.30pm here on England. Aside from some small bits of lettuce and cucumber he hasn't eaten since being at home. He's spent most of his time in his bed/cosy cave, and hasn't ventured out. I realise he's been through a massive trauma with the op, but does this behaviour sound normal for this stage of recovery? What should I do now to help him?
