Moose votes for the willow cubes. They are Moosie-Approved.

And yay for no more boy bits! *waves pom poms*

Just limit his activity so he doesn’t over do it, I kept Monkey in her cage without anything to jump on or catch on her tummy just to be safe. And lots and lots of pets and attention and raisins.

No jumping, so take out any platforms if you have some in his cage. I love that expression “getting his bits taken out”.
I once had a human relative who’d just had a vasectomy, and I said “you mean you got fixed?”

Favorite tip: to check how he’s healing and look for signs of infection, hold a hand mirror down low, then dangle a treat above his nose so he has to periscope up to get it, and look at his privates to make sure everything is ok. It’s easier than try to catch him and turn him over to check.

Let him rest.

oh, let us know how it goes!!!! My willie goes in this month too! I am sooo nervous.  Good thinking on the platforms. I forget I DO have platforms in his pen and they go up to his bed. I will have to modify this somehow!!!!

About half of the animal owners out there tear up when leaving their pet behind, be it for boarding or surgery.  Bunny people are no different than cat or dog or lizard people in this matter.  Heck, even big, strong men like me get a little choked up when we have to leave our friends behind.  

Awww Lintini! Here’s some ((((successful surgery and quick recovery)))) vibes for Indy! Let us know how he is when you pick him up!

He’ll do just fine. Someone named Indiana Jones can’t have anything happen at the vet He must live on to face many many wild adventures! *pats Lindsey*

Yay for Indy! I knew he’d do fine

Yeah! he’s ok! Lots of healing vibes for Indy!!! I cleaned out Mellow’s litter box really well before he came home. Other than that, good luck keeping hmi quiet for a few days; the boys heal so quickly.

that’s good. my bun was almost completely back to normal within 2 to 3 days. i am sure within a few days he will be back to normal

Aw, yay for Indy!

(((Indy))) Hope you have the boy home soon safe and sound.

Good to hear that he’s come through well! Sorry I wasn’t in here sooner, but I can’t advise you any better than everyone else here already has. I too took out any shelving in Mimzy’s cage and made sure he didn’t exert himself too much at first. He recovered quickly though. The shock was dealt when I had to check ‘down unda’ for his sutures and realized HOLEYMOLEY…how did I MISS THOSE? 0_o

I always tear up when I leave my pets at the vet, and I know they take excellent care of them, but it always gets to me. My hubby took Mimzy in the morning of his dental and it’s a good thing because I would’ve been a wreck.
Yeah, the house gets SO quiet when even one furbaby is missing for any reason. I swear, Pip & Fiver must not communicate at all because I’ve never seen the two of them so silent as the day that Mimzy was in surgery all day.

don’t worry my bunny didn’t eat for 24 hours after his surgery. so don’t worry. just let him rest my bun just wanted to be left alone for awhile and sleep. if he hasn’t eaten in 24 hours just call your vet. the reason he probably isn’t eating is because he is sore. i know i wouldn’t want to eat if i was tired and sore.

that’s great! my bun probably didn’t eat because he ripped out his stitches and had to stay at the vet all night.

Aww…good to hear he’s home and eating at lest a little bit.
((((((((healing & Nomming vibes for Indy)))))))))))))))

i didnt know you where so worried about indy, i can totally understand though. Im extemly glad that hes doing ok and eating now. I wish him the best. Now you got me all wondering how it will go when i eventually get jack fixed, i wonder how ill handle it.

Guys can be such big babies about their pets… hehe. Just you wait

lol, all my pets have been shelter rescues, so they’ve all been fixed already. Ive never had to have my pet go under the knife yet *knocks on wood*. i just hope jack will be as good as indy when his time comes

Yea Indy!

edit: lol yes I am awake at 4am watching him eat lettuce!

 

I hear that with my bad ear! ^_^ Boy does that sound familiar!

Hope you’re getting some rest now. Continued healing, eating, drinking and hopefully good eliminating vibes for Indy! ((((((((((((((Indy))))))))))))))))

Note: Mimzy tends to drink less form his water bottle, not only right after surgery, but if I am upping his greens as well. They get more fluid in the lettuce I think than they do sipping out of the bottle. Maybe try putting a small crock down for him if you think he can manage it? That might encourage him to drink more. You may have to pick up a few spills, but  it’ll be worth it to be sure he’s getting enough water.
