Hey,
Booked Kovu in for his castration today, its booked for 12th October as I'm off that weekend so can keep an eye on him!
Is there anything I need to do special? Can he eat before hand? What do I need to take with him?
What about post castration care? Is there anything I need to do for him?
So nervous for my little boy!
 
Kovu they are gonna nick your plums!! :shock: :shock:


Yes, he should be fed as normal before his op.
If he is an outdoor Bun he will need to be kept indoors the night after the op. But not in a too hot room so going outdoors again wont be a huge temperature change.
He will appreciate some of his fave veg and a bowl of water when he gets home. Also some nice hay to munch on

Lots of luck for the 12th :wave:

Shh Im trying not to tell him ;) lol
Hes an indoor bun, lives in my room in a pen on carpet. Would I need to put towels down for him too?
He'll be going out to live in the shed in November which is a worry as its cold by then, but I dont want to wait until next yer!
 
I took Charlie a container with his usual nuggets in as I was told that male's usually want to eat straight away when they come round. Glad I did, apparently he ate the lot!!!

Hope everything goes well!!
 
I kept Buster in for 3 days after his op, I don't know why I just kinda worried about his stitches. But he never touched them. He was done in the summer though so there wasn't any worry about the temperature differances
 
I've just had Storm neutered. Vet said take some of his usual food in with him so they can get him eating asap when he wakes up.

I was told to keep him warm/indoors for at least 24 hours.

He was very sleepy & grumpy when I got him home. Took a couple of days before he was back to his normal bouncy self.
