Patrick was prescribed metacam and paracetamol after his operation. Can you ask the vet for another painkiller?So poorly still.
Pleased that she’s been pooping today though, not the best poops, but poops!

She’s on metacam. The vet that originally did her surgery has been in contact with me as he felt awful about the bad experience I had with the next vet when he wasn’t available. He did offer he could dispense some burprenorphine for her but I’ve read up about that one and it seems quite strong especially for a piggy already quite immobile and not eating.

The antibiotics might be causing the odd poops. Can you give her a probiotic in her CC?
I really hope she’s feeling better soon.![]()
Yes I’ve read burprenorphine is very strong. I’ve not had experience of it. Can you get paracetamol?She’s on metacam.

That’s a good idea I might ask him for some protexin/fibreplex?
Thank you!
