It seems strange, but this happens more often than one might think. This even happened at my vet’s office. I think it’s really a matter information not being relayed to the receptionists. Depending on the office, some receptionists don’t have much medical background. But as long as the vet is aware that you’re not supposed to fast rabbits before surgery, then you should be OK. It never hurts to quiz them during the initial exam either. I’m glad you got things straightened out and the spay is going ahead as planned. I know it’s hard not to worry though.
