Ok, What The Heck Is This

[Guest Tess32]

Well I gave him a bone today first time after the operation and he still seemed to be in distress/pain from it.

He had mince the last few days and was fine, so is definitely the jaw work that goes into eating a bone.

Has anyone seen this before? I can take him to another vet but they don't seem to ever fine anything!

I think it would be normal to be sore after an operation for about 10 days at least - because of the bruising alone, and maybe longer if there are cuts and things to heal up.

So give him another week on soft food and try again.

All a different vet will find is bruising and cuts from the op.

If it's still all wrong then or soft food gets painful or head shaking - then go back incase the wound is infected and he needs (more) antibiotics.
