Hi,
My rabbit Toby has had spurs filed down today as well as his peg teeth, and his last remianing Incisor removed today.
He is drinking a bit and had very few bits to eat, he is still wobbly and very tired.
Can anyone suggest anything that I could try to give him, I'm trying all his favoourite things and making them smaller for him. He isn't a rabbit for eating fruit and veg.
I think he is still feeling really tired as he is drinking a little and took a piece of grain and dried banana off me, although I think he dropped the banana.
Hope you can help, thanks...
 
I would let him rest. The fact he has had a drink is good but dont get too stressed about him eating just yet.
Later tonight perhaps try making his usual pellet feed soft with some cooled boiled water.
Does he ever eat carrot? If so try gratting some for him.

Warmth and Water are what he needs right now.

you tempt your bun w/ his favorite treats, essentially on the first and second day after surgery, you let him eat anything he wants. If he doesn't eat the regular items, hays, pellets, etc., you let him for these 2 days. They don't go back to regular amt. of food intake after 1 or 2 days of surgery. In a few days, their diet will be back to normal
