Sansa is a 2 1/2yr sow Always been a chunky little girl but over the last 2 months has lost a fair bit of weight. She has been on Metacam and antibiotics to see how she does. With supportive feeding we managed to stabilise her. During another check up a small mammoth tumour was found. She had that removed on Tuesday (25/09) as well as x rays taken. The lump was completely removed. Vet said it was encapsulated. Nothing abnormal has shown up on the x rays. Her teeth were checked again no problems. She has continued on her meds and we are still feeding her. Her recovery from the anaesthetic was quite good. But she's still not right. Found her this morning a bit fluffed up. I just can't quite figure out what is wrong. Her wound is nice and pink and there is no smell. Anybody have any thoughts?
 
Is she still on her antibiotics? Does her stomach feel sore to her, or a bit bigger/tight?
 
Still on both her meds. Everything is normal but her behaviour.even her poops are bigger. Stomach is nice and soft. There is something not quite right but I can't quite put my finger on it so to speak. She's had her check up and the vet was happy. She's having her stitches out on Thursday. The vet did try to take blood from 4 different sites but with each attempt she started to haemorrhage. Don't know if there is something in that.
