Does this look okay?

I promise i'm barely holding her.. my finger isn't actually going into her gut... doesn't look good though!

It looks OK - clean and it is closed with no gaping. Is she moving around and eating? Let her rest a lot and keep a check on her frequently.

Vectis's idea We don't need dog food no, and it is a bit wasteful, but he eats every last bit and I couldn't syringe him if I tried. It's this one - £9.95 for a box of six pouches. A pouch lasts me 3 days - it has to be used within 48 hours of opening, so the night it's opened is the first night then two more nights and it's 48 hours since it's opened. Only use a teeny bit so it is wasteful - although I could give some to next door for their dog!

I tried the turkey one - a bit of that got left and wasn't so popular - so have stuck with the beef one which is extremely popular! Just a thought if you didn't want to syringe it. Needs a strong flavour like that to disguise the Baytril - it might be a treat for her while she's recovering too

The Metacam I can put in anything and it's eaten so you could try that in the porridge or a bit of baby food - just a tiny pea sized amount so they eat it all. First night I put the Metacam in a bit of mashed banana.

It's quite important she gets all the Baytril though, so she doesn't get a wound infection so if you're finding syringing is going ok .....But if she did eat it up in the dog food it might be nice for her. If she eats the whole bit put out. If she's got used to having it syringed followed by a treat then it might be better to continue with that if it's working.

Yea she's been running around like a mad thing sadly D: and had been nomming ever since she got home I've checked in, but other than giving her meds when I took that picture I'm leaving her well alone, I was hoping she's stay quiet overnight but she's up and seems like she wants her wheel... Obviously I won't give her it haha

That sounds positive Just talk to her regularly and tell her she's doing great.

Yea she's gets all of the dose of both currently i just hate picking her up, she doesn't love it.. and now her belly wound... it's just not a great combo ...

Haha best I don't she's not exactly my biggest fan :P

So had her checkup, her wound looks good, I said she's been walking a little funny and my vet found two like scab/infection/wound types things on either side of her, where scent glands would roughly be on a syrian hamster.. But I don't think robos have scent glands there...?

My vet doesn't know what they are anyone got any ideas?

[Pebbles82]

Not sure sorry. Has she been scratching at all? It could be some pus trying to work it's way out possibly? Good the wound is healing well. Maybe this is some kind of reaction - see how she goes.
