Junior Guinea Pig
Hi, I just wanted to finish this thread with an update, in case anyone in a similar situation finds this thread!
Pleased to report 10 days after surgery. My little brave pig had recovered really well. The Staples came out 3 days later, really easily and the wound looked surprisingly good. He didn't scratch it ever, I put him back with his cage mate and they are closer now then they ever were before. He lost about 80g but is putting it back on slowly. He seems happier then he has for a long while, so I wonder if he was sore before, even in the periods between the absess flairs! It cost £250 for the surgery and meds but right now, I'm thinking it was worth every penny.
Thanks for all your support on here everyone.
Happy pigs, happy owner here
