        So I adopted a 2 year old rabbit, it’s been a month or so and this whole time I thought it was a male (previous owners hadn’t a clue of how to treat a rabbit; was never brought to vet so they assumed he was a fixed male). I brought “him” to his vet appointment today and was told while she was examining him that it was in fact a female! I wasn’t totally surprised, but pretty shocked! Anyway she says I take great care of her (I need to think of a new name; perhaps willow or lily…maybe) and she’s extremely healthy and well taken care of in my hands. Because she’s already two, the vet  recommended I do the operation within a year to eliminate the possibility of cancer and to tame her somewhat occasionally aggressive behavior and territorial peeing. I’m nervous about caring for her after the operation…does it heal fast?  I’m just nervous about her being under too.

          Don’t worry about it. The day of the operation she will just want to be left alone and probably won’t eat when she gets home. Make sure the vet gives you some pain medication to take home for the next few days after the procedure.

          The week after the surgery you will just want to make sure she doesn’t jump on anything.

          You might consider doing bloodwork before she goes under anesthesia….I have a 5 year old rabbit that goes under anesthesia every 3 months for a dental trim.

            Yea they’re definitely doing a pre op blood test and check up! Just to make sure she’s in the clear. It’s just the thought of her being handled by surgeons, terrified and confused and in an unfamiliar place. She’s so fragile and tiny in breaks my heart and if anything ever happened to her I’d be a wreck. I’m kind of excited to see the long term effects of the removal though, because now she’s extremely territorially aggressive and bites often, sometimes even if I’m giving her her food. Maybe she’ll be calmer and more affectionate after? And every 3 months?? I imagine it being quick and stress free for your bunny though
