  I brought my around 6 month old rabbit in to be spayed today. After waiting all day, I finally just heard back from our vet to say that she had misplaced ovaries which were heavily attached to her abdominal wall. It was a traumatic surgery which took over 2 hours and requires her to stay in the hospital overnight for monitoring. They said she seems to have come out of anesthesia pretty quickly and has been given some pain meds and they are hoping to get her to eat very quickly.
  
  Has anyone else experienced this? I am distraught to have put her through this and am incredibly worried about her. We only recently adopted her and I am feeling really guilty. I know it’s usually a routine surgery but the vet really did sound worried in the phone.
  
  Any advice or even words to help me try to have a normal Friday evening would be appreciated.

  I’m sorry to hear about your bun 🙁 One thing that stood out to me was how your vet was stressing getting the pain meds right away and making sure she eats. That makes me think your girl is in very good hands since they sound experienced with rabbits. I’ve seen some tragic stories and inexperienced vet stories so try and relax knowing they are making her as comfortable as possible.
  
  Also, with the ovary situation I’d think if this was discovered later it would have been much worse, so being very young I think gives her the best chance of bouncing back quickly!

  They definitely are. I really trust them. They literally saved my other bun from a bad bought of stasis and nursed her back to life. I am just worried because he sounded worried. She really loves food (she’s a rescue and was battered by another rabbit for most of her life) so I would be very very concerned if he couldn’t get her to eat.
  
  I can’t find anything about that happening before. She is from a well known pet shop who are well known for the wrong reasons so I really think it may come down to poor breeding. Our other rabbit has a plethora of health problems so I think I am now on guard because I have seen how bad it gets.
