The orange pee is not an issue, because that naturally fluctuates. If it’s not orange and it’s actually red, then that’s an issue. But typically red urine is pretty distinct from orange, so if you’re saying orange, it’s probably the harmless orange pee all rabbits have at times. Wick is a common orange pee-er in bouts. He’ll go a week without it, then have orange pee for a while.

Is she grinding her teeth and were you given any pain medication?

Hi, I haven’t taken care of a bunny right after a spay so hopefully someone else can give you more knowledgeable and specific advice.

As far as general health goes, the fact that she is eating hay and lettuce is good (I’m assuming the lettuce is green or red leaf or romaine, not iceburg). The not drinking much water is a concern if she used to drink, say, half of the water in her bowl per day, and now you don’t notice any gone. If you are just now noticing that she doesn’t drink that much, it might just be her regular consumption. Two of my bunnies hardly drank any water, and the other two drank quite a bit.

Orange urine isn’t normally a big deal, it happens for many reasons. How is she pooping? If she is pooping her usual size and quantity, that means her GI system is probably working OK. If not, then she might not be getting adequate food/water.

Besides sleepy, does she seem aggitated or uncomfortable? Sometimes vets don’t supply enough pain,meds for bunnies, and they could also cause her to mess with the stitches, trying to “fix” the discomfort.

All those things are just clues to indicate how your bunny might be doing, but I agree with you that a vet trip is a good idea, just to be sure everything is ok. Nothing you mentioned sounds like an emergency though, so I would try not to worry too much and just get her checked out as soon as you can if she is still sleepy tomorrow.

These bunnies bring us so much joy, but they certainly do make us worry! Good luck and keep us posted. ☺

Some belly sounds are normal- there are rabbits with very loud digestive systems! If you hear loud popping sounds, like there are explosions going on in your bunny’s belly, that can indicate that something didn’t agree with them or they have gas. But rumbles and gurgles and such are normal. ☺

You’re welcome! Yeah, rabbits are so different than any other pet- there’s lots to learn. Keep coming here, reading and asking questions, and you’ll learn a LOT. Thats how I learned everything I know about bunnies ☺.

You seem like you’re going to,be an awesome bunny parent- you’re very observant and that’s a huge part of it! They are prey animals, so rabbits hide discomfort, pain and illness because in the wild, a sick or injured bunny makes a good easy lunch for predators. That’s why we need to get really skillful at deciphering their behavior.

It never goes away, but as you observe and learn more about your particular rabbit’s behaviors and quirks, it becomes very easy to tell when something is “off”. Stay attentive.
