Hi,
I've been reading these posts and hoping to get some insight. My boy, Willie, just had the subtotal colectomy surgery on Thursday afternoon. He's home now, but I'm a wreck. I'm so worried about him, might be overreacting, but I can't seem to help myself. I'm concerned about his food intake and bowel movements. He seems to be doing well, he's moving around okay and doing things he shouldn't like jumping on furniture - I'm trying to stop him the best I can. He is affectionate and purring. I'm just worried. I'm not sure what I should be expecting. He had a messy bowel movement Saturday morning, but hasn't done a whole lot since that. He drank really well yesterday as well, but I haven't seen him drink a lot today. He ate some dry food Friday evening. He ate about 1/3 can of wet food yesterday and today he maybe has had 1/4-1/3 can. I keep trying to offer food every couple hours. I feel like I might be getting on his nerves. I guess I just need to know what I should expect from him. He looks so thin to me. I've already called the vet for a check up in the morning, but figured I would see if anyone had any thoughts. Thank you!!!
