We just now finally got home.. Rain did wonderful according to the vet and im just glad its over with. Waiting to get her spayed has been a huge weight on my shoulders and im glad its finally done. She held her peepee all the way home and as soon as i let her into her cage she jumped right in her litter pan and peed for what felt like forever hahaha.. poor girl had to GO! She also started munching on some hay too which helped me feel a bit better about this being done. I will see how she does in the morning and weigh her pellets and see how much of it she ate. Thanks everyone for all the well wishes, comments and suggestions, just as you all said she did great!
Still covered in betadine

Thanks everyone for the well wishes, i will of course pass them onto little miss Rain. The vet said I could give her access to the rest of her cage today (She knows its a 3 level very big cage) if she wants to go up higher in the cage she will but I can always do what I feel most comfortable doing. She was still locked on the bottom level this morning when I left for work though. She was still pretty ouchy and walking around like a little old lady. Rain is really good about letting us fuss with her, play with her (not today of course), exc.. she really is a well rounded little girl and a total sweet heart. Again, im so glad this is over and she can just heal up and go back to her normal happy go lucky self. Never do we have to worry about the hormonal girls, teenage years, exc. I do wonder if she would feel better if she had access to the rest of her cage, I know after my c-sections (no pain meds they make me nauseated) the faster i got moving around the faster i felt better… laying around made things way worse, nearly gave my nurses a heart attack though! hahaha -
4 days post surgery and healing beautifully!!
approx 48-72hrs post surgery she was absolutly back to herself doing binkies, jumping up and down her cage, exc… the one complaint i do have is she pooing outside her litterbox. some of them are inside the box but shes mostly pooing outside her box, that is something she never did presurgery. She used to be perfect with her litter training and while her urine is still in her litter box shes pooing anywhere she wants!

Ok, were 6 days post surgery and shes still doing great.. she did remove the scab and it makes it look fresh but in the up close pic you can see its healing very well… and the other pic is “raise your hand if your mom totally annoys you!”
it really does look great though!! Healing very very nicely. Im very happy with the job the vet did
I cant get over how fast her hair is growing back either!!
as for her pooping everywhere.. that seems to have passed too.. I just had to move her pellet bowl closer to the litter box

Thanks!!
I hope your little girl does well today, i do know every vet is different and the spay incision might be larger but the main point of the post was to help
we will continue to take photos and keep everyone updated on her recovery. Would be nice to know how long it takes to fully heal. -
No problem baleful!! im glad your getting some use out of looking at the pics, dont make yourself crazy with it though because youve gotta remember every rabbit is different and what happened with rain might not with your bun.
binky, i will keep an eye on it
if you cant tell lol ive been keeping a pretty good eye on things. Also, she doesnt have external stitches.. they used glue -
lol… im not so sure. I would imagine it tastes terrible and this is like super surgical glue lol.. aint’ no elmers! I took another pic of her incision tonight, looks better and better everynight!
Pam, you think your kinda loosing it tonight, wait until you see the video of Little miss thing (Abbie) tonight!! What a naughty rabbit!!
