galgrey Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Got some rest between water intake and outside. Not sure about him but I passed out I got 2 whole hours this last time. He won't eat for me but he did for them.... I am going to call them when they open and see if he ate by himself or they put it in his mouth. Poor baby. I hope you can get him eating and on the road to recovery soon. Hope you can get some rest so you can take care of him.

duncan41 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 It will probably be another 24 hours before he feels like eating. If canine recovery is anything like humans, the first 48 to 72 hours after surgery are the worst and then the body revives and active healing begins. Will he eat "anything"? Would he drink Ensure?

Burpdog Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 He ate for the vet but not me <sigh> I am going to buy some chicken and beef broth and see if I can get him to drink some.

Remolacha Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 hang in there! the first couple of days are the worst, as I am sure you know. As long as he is drinking, I wouldn't worry too much about him not eating at first. Well, actually, if it were me and my dog, I would be worrying, but you know what I mean. I hope he will eat a little for you tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carronstar Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Magical Burp Dog crumbs. Or do they lose their magic for him? Maybe some scrambled eggs would tempt him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpdog Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 I've been staying away from crumbling things because of the throat issue from the tube. He finally drank some broth and ate a very little baby food meat. Hopefully he will gear up over the next few days.

Rickiesmom Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 He's eating and drinking - not a lot in quantity, but it still counts for a lot, and bodes well for the coming days. Take good care of yourself also, worried hound mama! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllenEveBaz Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Hope he's feeling much better after his acupuncture and eating more. He did eat after I got home (he also got a B12 shot): dog cookies (not mine), kibble, mackeral, chicken and ground beef with canned. He is punky this morning but he's not been a morning person. I might feel a little punky after that combination, too.
