My new boar has been home from the vets since 5pm (castration) and has not stirred from his bed. The vets did say that he had taken a while to come round from the sedative.
He has not moved at all (apart from the odd very small fidget) and has not eaten.
I do not have Critical Care in the house and want to know what peoples advice is for getting food and fluids into him?
Do I need to be worried yet or should I leave him a little longer?
I can syringe water into him if people think he needs it now but what can I do for food? As I say, I don't have Critical Care... and their normal dried food is Wagg (Guinea Pig Crunch) not pellets so I can't soak this to a paste.
Advice?

Maybe he is still a bit woozy from the anesthetic, I would give him a little more time.

Xander stayed in the vets overnight after his operation and even then it took him about three days to get back to normal. Until then he slept most of the time and only ate the bare minimum. We monitored him by counting his poops I hope your piggy is well now
