Emily was spayed today and is currently in our lounge in a small hutch. Henry unfortunately is having to stay outdoors as no way to house him indoors with her. Do you think it ok to let them be together in their run tomorrow, but then seperate again tomorrow night. The vets advised that she should spend a couple of nights indoors.

Am no expert and have a neutered boy, not a spayed girl, however, I thought you had to keep them completely separated for a while after as the boy might try to mount the girl and cause serious damage. If I were you I wouldn't put them together yet, at least until someone verifies this.

I'm kind of wondering the same thing, as both of mine were done yesturday, and wanted to know when it would be safe to try bonding. But I'm affraid that choci might do damage to lily if put together to soon after their ops. I was thinking at least two weeks if not more. I hope someone will come along and tell us.

Ok im guessing they were already together and if Henry isn't the humpy type with her and Emily is totally back to her usual self tomorrow she should be fine to go back outside and back to living with Henry. Its not good to keep changing the temperature by going in and out of the house
We insist on bonded buns coming into the surgery together even for neutering so that recovery is less stressful for them and we never have problems
If however they are not bonded yet, leave it 10 to 14 days for her to heal so that if there are any tiffs and scuffles her wound externally and internally isn't snagged.

I'm getting my two girls spayed in December time and was wondering if I keep them together throughout the recovery process? They'll be done together.

I kept my Doe and Neutered buck together throughout the process (asside from the actual spay) as he's such a gentle fellow. It seemed to really help (asside from him eating all the tempting food i offered her) as he not only kept her warm and cosy, just him being there caused her much less stress. It was particularly improtant as she'd already had one attempt at spaying but didn't cope well with the anesthetic so it was touch and go if she'd pull through. This should be the same with two neutered ladys with the added bonus that they'll both be very quiet after the op so no scuffels at all assuming they've been bonded already
With an un neutered buck though i would be cautious, especially if they've not been bonded before. My Rosie was quite weak and in pain after the op and i'd hate to think of putting her through the stress of bonding until she's fully healed, it's not worth the risk.

Hi:wave: , I am taking 3 female bunnies to be spayed in December they are all sisters so they are bonded. I have been told to take them to the vets together but after they have been spayed should they still stay together to recover?
