xx help please...anyone!!?
 
I had my two girls done 3 years ago and yes it is a worry.

My two went in and come home together I put them in their hutch; they just laid together for comfort. I did try to encourage them to eat with their favourite treats. They didn't touch their stitches, but I know some rabbits do, so I guess keep a close eye on them.

My two were back to normal in a couple of days.

Try not to worry; you are doing the best thing for them.

I found it's more single rabbits that pull out their stitches coz they are bored! Please don't seperate them as they find comfort in each other as they get better! I know it's scary, but try not to worry too much, I have taken sooooooo many rabbits to be neutered, and only once, have I had a bunny pull out her stitches, but she was so restless, she hated being inside, without the freedom of the run, so it was an act of boredom! more then anything else. I've even had a dwarf bunny go in when the vet said it was a high risk as he was small, and he came out bouncing!! I know there are people who have bad experiances, but it's the same in like crossing the road, yes sometimes people get hit, but for the most part you cross over safely. There will alway be a risk, but your vet has probably performed 100's of procedures, and gets better at it everytime! Plus there are risks with not getting them neutered, so all in all your doing a very good thing for your bunnies! You should be proud!
 
Hi
I have literally just got back form Eric and Ernie being neutered.

Apart form looking a bit hung over, they are fine.
They are eating some veg and fruit (bit of a treat for them) and I am leaving them to rest in their own hutches. I think they'll sleep for the afternoon (as usual).

it is a worry when they are in, but it is nice to know they are in the right hands and a relief when you get them home.

i will be keeping a close eye on them the next couple of days, just to make sure they are eating, drinking, and going to the loo o.k

Mine have got glue to close them up, and have been assureed that they will be o.k
I will just check every day to make sure it all looks good.



Just to let you know, they went in at 9.50am today and I picked them up at 3.15pm. I did all my housework to keep me busy and take my mind of them.

Hope it all goes well for you all.

Sorry, just to add something else that I forgot to say previously.

I bought some carefresh bedding for mine today, so they can lay in comfort.
Seems to be working for them, as they would normally lay in their litter tray.

I got the advice to buy this from people on this forum.
It's a great site this. it has really helped me with all my worries. Don't be afriad to ask questions and look for re-assurance!:)
