  Big sigh of relief! All seems well.
  
  He was not eating and an attempt at syringe feeding did NOT go well. He was very lethargic as well.
  
  This morning, he was perked up and eating his greens. By the time I had gotten home from work, he had eaten pellets and finished the greens, and POOPED! Woo hoo!!
  
  Working on some hay now.
  
  On another note, my Pug, Kylee, ruptured an anal glad, yippee. She goes in tomorrow.😟

  Did they send pain meds home for Walter? I would imagine that he won’t be able to bounce back as quickly after his neuter since they did a more invasive neuter.
  
  Oh wow… I guess I never thought about a dog being able to rupture an anal gland. That doesn’t sound good. 🙁

    Yes, he got two doses, but not sure how much of the first one made it in him.

  I’m very happy to hear that Walter is doing better!
  
  A ruptured anal gland 😧 I know dogs can have difficulty eptying their anal glands but I didnt know they could rupture an anal gland. I hope it can be fixed swiftly.

  Glad Walter is doing better! Sometimes they need pain meds for about 3 days and some feeding, but he seems to be on the upswing!
  
  And ugggh about the anal gland. That happened to my cat several years ago, not fun!
