OverWyreGrower Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 My grumpy little boy rabbit Sweeney has gone to be neutered today I packed up his lunch and took him to the vets, and have to call between 2 and 3 to check everything is ok The vet nurse thought it was really lovely that I'd packed him a lunch bag - he had a double bowl in there, a little bag with his day's dry food, a bag with his greens in, and a bag of hay. They advise you to bring in the rabbits food, so they can eat straight after the op. She said that most rabbits come in with a couple of handfuls of dry food, she thinks Sweeney is very spoiled! Please keep my grumpy little lad in your thoughts today. I dont like the idea of buns going under the knife, but hopefully Sweeney will be moving in with our other bun once he is "safe"....

bigmommasally Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Ahhh he's so cute. How did it go? Hope he is recovering well, hubbie said he might appreciate an ice pack to sit on - he did! We've got 2 4 month old mini lop boys and will be needing to have them done soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverWyreGrower Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Went to pick him up after work and he was ok The vets don't stitch now, they use glue, so there is nothing for him to pull at. He had a little buster-collar on, and was munching on a piece of carrot He is a bit (more) grumpy, but it's only to be expected! We have to take him back tonight, just for the vets to check him over, and then we just have to wait for him to be "non fertile" then he can be properly introduced to Lacey!

victoriabunny Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 A little buster collar, how adorable! My Albert didn't get one of those when he was done - I'm jealous! Glad he is OK and hope it is love at first sight when they are eventually introduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hevvur Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Leon was stitched when he was 'done. He took one stitch out the same day, and the other the next day! Luckuly he was fine, and didnt need another trip to the vets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clootie Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 How's Sweeney doing? I picked Nugget up yesterday at 4pm - he's VERY quiet and crouching in the corner of his run this morning in the same spot I left him in last night. I'm a little worried as he looks thoroughly miserable. I hope it passes and he's just feeling a bit rough after the op. I take him back next Tuesday to be checked over.

Sweeney was like this the evening I picked him up. He looked so grumpy and annoyed. I left him overnight, with some veg etc nearby, and he had perked up a lot the next day. He looked like he was moving funny, but the vet said that he was probably a bit sore. 4 days later and he is fine. You'd never even know he'd had anything done (apart from distrust of the travelling box!) Gentle hugs to Nugget! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Thanks, that makes me feel a lot better. He's not eating anything except grass !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
