  I just got my boy neutered yesterday (11/3) and I have no idea what I am supposed to be looking for when they say keep an eye on the area.. I read that swelling is normal but excess swelling needs to tended to ASAP but this is my first time owning a rabbit, so I don’t know what I am looking for.. I attached some pictures.. Please help me!!!

  A little red but i dont see anything too concerning with his wounds They dont look swollen or bloody, which is a very good sign. Did the vet send him home with pain killers?

  No, she did not, but he seems really normal.. he hasn’t expressed any pain (to my knowledge) and he has been just as active in his cage since I got him back as he was before the surgery. I thought he would have been more calm or drowsy

  Hes not tying to groom the wounds at all, is he? Most vets send home pain killers for a few days to a week to ensure that the bunny doesnt bother with the wounds

  You will have to check for that, indeed! If he is, youll need to get a bunny cone for him so he stops. I get my bunny cones at the vets office, but a few petstores also carry them. A call to the vets for pain killers and antibiotics would be good too. Again, only if he is licking his wounds. If hes ignoring them, then all should be well
