Hi all.
I found this site while searching rabbit links online. Nice to meet you all. I have a little 9 month old Mini-Rex that we just got neutered last week. After we brought him home, he didn't eat right away, but after a few hours got his appetite back.
So later in the week, we noticed his the area where he had the surgery was purple. At first it seemed like it was that way because it was right after the surgery, but it looked like one testicle was still there. Big and purple. About the size of a bean.
So we took him back to the vet and they said it might be a hernia, and to bring him back first thing in the morning when the doctor was there.
I am starting to worry about both my little BunBun, and the vet that we take him to.
First off, before his neuter, the receptionist advised us to not feed him after 10. So my poor little bunny went a good 9 hours or so without food or water until I found out online that it was wrong. Of course they said "yeah, she's new she shouldn't have said that."
Now I am finding out if something is wrong with my bunny, I will have to pay more (not that I have a problem with it or anything) to fix it. It seems like they didn't do what they were supposed to do, and now I have to pay for that?
Little BunBun seems fine, he is running around and having fun, chewing paper, playing with his toys, all his normal habits.
I am just worried sick when I heard about a hernia....please help me calm down
