Me and OH keep going round in circles.
As you know we lost Donut very suddenly last Friday.
Bailey keeps sitting by patio doors looking in. He wants to come in! I think its for company.
Whilst he and Donut did not live together, they lived side by side. They had alternate time out and more often than not, whichever bun was out, would spend a lot of time outside the other ones hutch. If the other bun was in the run, they would lie side by side with just the mesh separating them.
In the past I had a girl and boy and lost both following neutering. I was assured by the vet that it was nothing to do with the the op (they died very suddenly of EC), but I am obviously very anxious/nervous about having Bailey neutered.
Donut had an op last year for a torn ear and there were no probs.
Do I leave Bailey and get another male and do the same as before with alternate time out etc, or have Bailey neutered and get him a girlfriend? I know that I would never forigve myself if anything happened to Bailey.
I was chatting to the vet on Monday and she was very reassuring. She said that they knew far more about buns now than they did a few years ago. They use a gentle GA and said he would be in very good hands. She also told me to bear in mind that its not an invasive op.
Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated. I know the final decision is ours, but we really don't know what to do.
