I’m in the same boat! Taking my new little guy to the vet soon to get neutered as well. It’s a new thing for me, despite having had bunnies for the last decade – I’m used to the elderly ones, not babies! I wouldn’t stress too much. It’s good to get this done at a young age, when they can recover faster and before any bad behaviors get ingrained. I’ve seen a lot of bunnies get spayed and neutered back when I volunteered with shelter bunnies. The females take longer than the males to recover, usually a few days. She’ll probably be very woozy after the surgery and might not want to eat right away. Just be careful handling her for a few days and keep her cage very clean, and she should be fine.

Lots of luck and good vibes for Iris today! I know how you feel, Pomegranate had her spay on Friday and I was a wreck leading up to it.

Make sure you have a variety of food on hand to tempt her to eat when she gets home, as she probably won’t really be interested in eating and if you’re like me you won’t be able to settle until you’ve seen her have something, even if the vet says she ate after the surgery. I got all of Pomegranate’s favourite greens in and she turned her head away from all of them! Have a banana or other nice fruit just in case she won’t take anything else.

Have water in a bowl that you leave close to her so she doesn’t have to move too much to drink, as she’s going to be pretty dopey for the first 12 hours or so.

Keep monitoring her temperature by feeling if her ears are cold. Make sure you have a hot water bottle or similar available, and loosely drape a blanket over her, so she can come out easily if she decides she’s warm enough.

I hope it all goes well today!

Goodness, that is unexpected! Very pleased to hear that Iris is feeling so perky already, that must be a big weight off your mind!
