Ozzie just had surgery!

[Chloepd7]

So a few of you might know Ozzie as I was panicking on here the first few days I got him, he’s a rescue and he has a lot of wounds on him. I took him to the vet and they took a biopsy to test for yellow fungus (as I am not taking any chances with my precious little man) he took the surgery well and he came home last night and the poor guy has 3 stitches. I’m putting on silver cream twice a day and so far he’s just been sleeping (my guess is he’s still a little sedated) the doctor said his fat stores were low so I am especially concerned about getting him eating soon. He did not eat today obviously because he is exhausted, but when should I go about trying to feed him again? They gave me some critical care nutrition stuff to try and get more veggies in him but I don’t want to push him too much as the poor man has been through a lot!

Hello,

Do you have pictures of Ozzy now, is he doing well?
It will take him a few days most likely to feel normal after surgery. Just be sure he is well
hydrated & it's ok to let him rest awhile, too.
You should keep him on soft foods for a bit so he doesn't have to work so hard for food. Maybe
give him a day or two just to let his system normalize some before feeding him.
The silver cream should help for his skin. When will the yellow fungus test come back?

Let us know how he is doing.
Tracie
