My boys were required to be left at the vet. At first I was apprehensive, but it was for the best. They took good care of them and made sure they were eating, drinking, and their incisions were okay. I work full time and takw grad classes full time, so having to stay home a whole day to monitor them would’ve been a challenge. I think it worked out best to have them stay. The price on the other hand ?

Yes, definitely bring a “bunny bag” for your boy. Hay, pellets, his favorite greens, and something that smells like you.

Thanks you guys!! I was sitting on the floor with him last night and became overwhelmed at the thought of leaving him alone in an unfamiliar place!

This vet offers the drop off the night before and a stay the night after for observation for free. While I think is a nice courtesy to have the day after observation, I don’t think I will have him stay the night there on Friday. I am confident that I can watch after him and I think that staying afterward would just be unnecessary additional stress when I can bring him home and set him in his cage with a nice warm comforter. And no one will bother him! No doubt that’s more comfy than the vet!

Since he is staying the night, I’ll send some extra hay. I’ll be a really nice mom and send him with a whole slew of what we have on hand: timothy, alfalfa, orchard and oat! And herbs! I’ll send him with his blanket, stuffy, and something of mine- maybe a scarf as Q8 said! They said I could bring his own litter tray if I want to, so that will be familiar. And there are heating pads in the “cages” so if he gets chilly he can warm up! I feel a little bit better knowing these things. I never thought to ask about bringing his own trays and such!
