Wasn't the spay this afternoon? If so then you are panicking. It can take 24 hours for her to want to even start eating. It is best to just leave her overnight and not fuss with her - make sure she is not in a drafty area either. |

Females do take longer to recover - could be 48 to 72 hours for her to feel better. Boys do bounce back quickly. |

They are to easy to worry over! It is a but harder on the girls so normal that she's not doing much yet. I do want to ask though, did she eat prior to surgery? ( important rabbits do). Her normal amount of food? Also, did they give her pain meds after? Some vets use a long lasting med so they don't send you home with any. But they may give you some in case. I hope you see her rally soon. I agree with others though, this is normal at this stage. Baby is lucky to have attentive human parents fussing over her. : )

It can definitely take a full 24 hours, and I ditto having some fresh herbs on hand and scatter some hay around. What has also worked for some bunnies is gently poking (tickling) them in the mouth with some soft hay or herbs. Sometimes out of annoyance they'll take a bite, causing them to continue to eat. |

no eating yet, I caught her sipping some water though. they used long lasting meds so she didnt need any, and said if she was in pain to call. she has moved around a little more but is still sleeping a lot. I am going to try the mint or cilantro since that is one of her favorites. |
