I can touch and rub the spot where he had his incision and he shows no distress. He honestly seems depressed! It's breaking my heart. We're talking him back in on Monday. If he's not improved we'll choose another vet.
Although it's not often I hear about a dog who hasn't fully recovered yet, did you ever give him recovery food after the surgery? When my dogs get sick, our vet would usually recommend for us to feed him Royal Canin Recovery Food. Even the most lethargic of my dogs wasn't able to resist it because it was probably delicious to them and it smelled really good. You should try checking that out and see if he is interested in it.
And yes! I think you should seek a second opinion. But I am still hoping that he is just adjusting to the removal of the cyst. Nonetheless, you might as well have him checked out.
Did the vet suggest any vitamins? Or pedialyte for dehydration?
