It's been over a week now since our guinea pig had his tumor removed. I don't see him moving about as much as I would like. He comes out a little if we bring veggies, but for the most part is hiding in his pigloo a lot. He has another follow-up visit on Monday for wound care, and I'm getting anxious about that visit. The vet said if he isn't back to his old self by then, then we really need to consider putting him to sleep. He said this would mean his level of pain is just too much.
I'm just sad. Has anyone's pet had surgery and taken a little while longer to recover than thought at first?
