Some places do keep them overnight – it really just depends.

I know it’s scary for you. Make sure you take her hay, pellets, and some fresh veggies too and something she will be familiar with like a toy or something.

Vibes to you and to Sunny.

Oh that’s a good idea, she has a stuffed monkey and she loves that thing .  She licks it and cleans it like its a baby of hers.

My poor Sun is getting spayed . We made contact w/the MI Humane Society’s Vetrinary Center, and it costs $100, & and extra $20 for pain medication.  And guess what? It’s on Friday the 13th. What a creepy day. I may just reschedule for another day, but I’d hate to hold it off anymore. That Friday is really scary…non the less my baby has to stay the night! I have to miss a bit of school in the morning because I am NOT letting her go in w/out me saying I love her . She has to be in at 8AM, and I’m guessing they just really want to watch her for the hours afterward. Anyone who has gotten a bun spayed, is it normal to be held over night? Ik she’ll need cage rest afterward, but I never knew my baby would be there all night ;(. I’m gonna be a nervous wreck. She can’t eat after 8pm Thursday night, prolly because of the anesthesia. Send some prayers/hugs/good vibes mine and sunny’s way.

Call your vet. If he told you she can’t eat, he’s wrong. They are supposed to keep eating right up til surgery. If he insists, call a different vet.

I didn’t even really think about that until someone else on another bun forum brought it up. I realized that the anesthesia made people and other animals vomit and told my mom about it. They’re closed now, so we’re gonna call tomorrow.

Thank you.

Keep in mind that it may have just been a staff member who got this wrong. If this clinic does a lot of rabbit spays – it’s probably ok but do ring and clarify.

Update:

The receptionist was [ty jerseygirl] new, and she was guessing the same thing happens for buns like cats a dogs. My mom talked to someone who knew that bunnys are to eat, so I’m glad everything’s good.

Blech, so it has to be canceled because we spent ALOT in the pet store for big things of food and all that…for the mice+gerbs+sunny. Atleast she wont be operated on Friday the 13th

. I wanted to get it over w/, but we’ll get it done.
