<<<<<>>>>>> Me and Boston will be thinkin bout you!

I remember when you debated on bringing Olivia home or not and the original struggles you went through! How exciting that its spay time!!!

She might take a bit longer to get back to normal. She should be eating within 24 hours at the very longest, at least some hay and veggies. You know, of course, not to leave without pain meds.

Remind me… is she still living at your mother’s house or is she at home with the rest of your crew?

Keep us posted Puffy!! *hugs*

She should be eating by the time she leaves the vet, but if not you might have to entice her when you get home.

I’ve been through the spay/neuter many times now (my vet file looks like that of a hypochondriac’s hospital file ) and sometimes they are sleepy afterwards and sometimes they are normal bouncing off the walls kooky bunnies. The most important is -pain meds, good incision, eating and pooping.

Keep us posted. Well it probably takes a full 24 hours for her to even think about food. They really drug them up with pain meds and such. I don’t find the females to return anywhere to normal for at least 72 hours or more. Definitely entice her to eat some fragrant greens though but don’t expect a full fledged bunny pig out for awhile.

She may not even nibble until the next afternoon.

Yay for Olivia – what a relief huh?! My opinion? I would think it ok for her to have some exercise. Maybe just you and her in the room, not the boys. They might startle her and cause her to move too quickly. The afternoon/evening I had Jersey home after her spay, she was an active little Miss. I slept on the floor in my living room to keep an eye on her. She was up and about in the wee hours. Had more energy than me!

I was so nervous when I brought Boston home, I left her in her cage for 3 wholes days. I know she was bored and it sucked, but i think better safe than sorry! maybe let her out in a real confined area, where you can watch her? I’m just a nervous mom though!!!! lol!

glad everything went well! Why in the world would a bunny drink her pee??

Pretty much you just don’t want them binkying all over –especially on pain meds as they may not understand their limitations as well as when they are off them.

Some bunnies get mushy poo from the metacam-or the anaestetic metabolizing. And she may not be reaching to eat her cecotropes too-I wouldn’t be worried 

Oh I forgot to add! YEAH Olivia!!

Yay, I’m glad all went well. I think the vet normally recommends that you confine them for the first few days and then limited exercise.

I’d also say at least 3 days days confined. Limited exercise for a full week.

Sorry I’m just getting to this now, LPT, but I am very happy to hear all went well with Olivia’s spay. ^_^ Is she feeling better today? What’s the latest?

That’s great news!!

I’m a little late here but……….YEAH!!!

That’s brilliant news! It was very nerve wraking with Jess. I’m lucky I have a good vet. A friend of my Mum has a rabbit whose vet won’t spay her because he doesn’t think rabbits can survive an anasthetic. What an idiot, just goes to show how important it is to have a good vet.
