So on a quick recap I took in Clover to get spayed. She has healed fantastic and is in great spirits. She’s eating well whether its her hay, pellets or treats. In fact she seems to be feeling even better than before her spay playing with toys she once ignored exct. The one thing that we’ve found to be strange in her behavior is that she seems to be having a harder time relaxing and she doesn’t want to be picked up in the least. I know that many rabbits hate being picked up, but prior to her spay she didn’t mind being lifted up onto my husbands lap so she could sit with him while he would play video games or he would lie back in his recliner and she would lay across his chest and lick his chin. With me i would sort of sit semi-cross legged and set her between my legs and pet her till she would doze. She’s pretty well healed up, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if shes probably just in pain still? I certainly don’t want to be picking her up if she’s still in pain, but I’m wondering if i’m going to have to work with her again to get her use to being picked up again.
Side question. She has a hell of a dewlap and I think its cute as hell. Is that dewlap going to go away now that she’s spayed?
