  Hey all,
  
  I dropped my 2 buns off for their spay and neuter this morning ( I have a 1 year old Holland lop female named Beatrice and a 4 month old Holland lop male named Bernard). I was wondering if anyone had any tips or suggestions for after care? I’ve read pretty much every website and watched a ton of videos so I think I’m all set but is there anything in particular you did for your buns that got them eating or just helped them heal in general? Or just any advice what so ever would be appreciated!

  See here for parameters on after-care: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Spaying_and_neutering_rabbits#After_the_operation
  
  I don’t think there are any miracle interventions — just time and ensuring you are providing the best environment for recovery, so one that has plenty of easy access to hay and that is restricted with good flooring. Pain medication is also an important puzzle piece.

  The main things are pain meds, and be prepared to syringe feed if they don’t start eating on their own by the evening. Sometimes buns just need one or two syringe feedings to perk them up, and then they feel much better. 🙂
  
  Having some favorite fragrant herbs on hand also can help entice them to eat on their own.

  A nice quiet place to relax in (i e no barking dogs or noisy people), fragrant herbs or even a little smorgasboard of nice things to eat incl hay (of course) to spark an appetite, if they’re housed together they probably won’t need a warm water bottle, but have one ready just in case.

  A quiet place to relax. You there would be comforting too. Have a comfy place for them maybe a pet bed or just a small fleece or blanket. And get ready for a mess if you got to syringe feed them.
