first day, just had surgery, small poops ????

I just brought my rescue Bunny home yesterday. It has been about 32 hours after her spay also. She's acting pretty good. Seems perky and happy. She's eating Hay and some veggies and drinking. But her poops are small and I have not seen her eat her pellets yet. Do you think it's because of the stress of surgery AND a brand new home all in 2 days??? If it is how many days will she need to recoop? I just don't want to wait too long incase she is sick. Thanks!!!
 
Hi :wave: and welcome to the Forum.

I wouldn't worry too much about the pellets. Eating plenty of hay is the best thing for her. Poops can get smaller and mis-shapen after surgery, as long as she is still pooping, eating and drinking I am sure the size will improve :D If she is perky and moving around then that is good too.

Let us know how she is doing,
