I may be overly paranoid about poor Wilbur, but when I told the rescue folks how his abscessed testicle burst during its removal, they were extremely concerned about the possibility of him going into septic shock from it.
Its been three days since the surgery, and Wilbur has been on Baytril and Metacam. My confidence in reading his behaviour is completely shattered - this entire time I've thought he's happy and mellow, he must have been in so much pain. I have no baseline for his normal behaviour, so I'm afraid I might be missing warning signs. He's his usual quiet self, but he seems ... too quiet. Still is enthusiastic about his treats, and his poo is nicely firm although a little on the small side.
Do I still need to be worried? What warning signs should I be looking for?
