We ended up at the emergency clinic after my Rocky bear ate a needle and 36” (folded in half) long piece of cross stitch floss. Literally turned my head for 1 minute. He had surgery and they weren’t able to get to the needle/thread but milked it to his colon. He stayed in hospital until Thursday, not eating and not pooping so I opted to bring him home. He’s since pooped out the needle and full 36” of thread (I measured).
he’s been eating, drinking, peeing, pooping and grooming but he’s just not acting like himself. While I know that this is likely due to the strong meds he’s one (2 antibiotics (Cephalexin and Metronidazole) he has a small fever post surgery, 1 pain med (gabapentin) an antacid (omeprazole) - all twice a day) I am just wanting him to be “normal”. How long after surgery should I expect him to be back to his usual self!! He’s the most social, vocal and loving snuggly guy and since he came home, he sleeps and looks at me like I’m a monster for taking him to the vets and giving him all these meds. He doesn’t meow or purr
many advice and/or reassurance would be greatly appreciated!!!
