You asked me to come back and post about Samson's tail amputation. I did actually write a post but it seems to have gotten stuck in the moderation queue
( Read more... )
Does he (she? :) ) have any pain medicine? My immediate thought is that he sounds like he's uncomfortable--lethargy/depression and lack of appetite are two common signs of post-surgical discomfort. How does the surgery site look otherwise? I'd definitely call the vet Monday and let them know how he's doing, they may have some other ideas, or may want to check him out again.
Thanks for your thoughts - much appreciated. They didn't give me any pain medication for him, but he isn't flinching at all when handled, even around the surgery site. The surgery site looks totally fine.
He basically lay on top of the mouse I gave him instead of eating it, but then he is in pre-shed so I wouldn't expect him to be hungry. But I would expect him to shed, which he isn't doing #:-/
I think you're right; it can't hurt to call the vet tomorrow. The worst thing that can happen is they'll think I'm an over-anxious crazy snake lady. Which would also be a fair assessment.
