Thank you all for your prompt feedback and tips. After 36 hours Reno is now drinking a little on his own. I gave him SQ fluids this morning to help him and will give another dose tonight.

He ate a little bit of AD mixed with warm water and ferretvite and, with some gentle hand feeding, some tuna with the water (he loves it..). He is more active ( though I do not expect him to go hopping around yet!). He gets easily depressed and I make sure he gets a lot of TLC to help him along in his recovery.

His belly is still quite swollen from the surgery, but no weird or new bruising has appeared.

Thank you all again for your help.
