Re: Ooohh...that looks strange =(
She looks very good... not thin or dehydrated.
I would not force feed her yet... surgery slows down the peristalsis (movement of the gut) that she needs to digest her food, and depending on how long ago she had the surgery, she may not be up for eating yet. I'd be patient...

Re: Ooohh...that looks strange =(
I also agree. She appears to have sufficient bulk on her to survive for a good while without feeding. I think the stress caused by force-feeding at this stage would be a step backward. please be patient, Robert.
