Hi, hoping someone can offer me some advice. My Maltese Poodle had a fatty lump removed under anaesthetic today (the vet and I were worried it was growing even though she'd tested it and it was benign apparently) but it did seem to be getting bigger and possibly uncomfortable.
Anyway he had the op at about 10am and I picked him at 4pm. It is now 6.20pm (we're in Africa not the UK) and he won't drink or eat.
I sort of expected he might not eat but it is such a hot day here and I'm wondering when I should be worried if he still isn't touching his water bowl.
My vet's practice is closed now and I wish I'd thought to ask more. I think there is an emergency number but I'm not sure this is an emergency - maybe it's to be expected - but for how long (especially in this heat)! Bit worried.
Any advice gratefully received? Thanks
