Neutering problem - anyone seen this?

Ollie has just had his one week check up after being neutered. Seems he is really swollen round the area. He's already on antibiotics for conjunctivitis so probably not an infection. Vet thinks it might be just inflamation and prescribed metacam. Ollie is over 7 years old so I hope it is all not too much for him. He is bouncing around as usual and eating his head off with usual rabbit fortitude. Just to make things worse my rabbit vet has left the country on a family emergency. AAgh.. :cry:
Anyone else had this kind of reaction to castration?
 
Thanks - I hope that is all it is. It's just that Frodo was done at the same time and his bits are not at all swollen a week later. Hopefully it is not a problem but can't help worrying
 
It's quite normal, personally (not that I'm a vet or anything) I would expect Frodo to have a higher metabolism and so be healing faster; as with humans there are "norms" but there are also people/animals who go either faster or slower than the "norm" - which is also normal! :lol:
 
Monty had this problem after he was neutered. We took him back for his post op check up and then the vet spotted it. She gave him some anti biotics and we had to go back 10 days/2 weeks later and it had gone down.
As with your bun, Monty didn;t seem at all bothered and was racing around as usual.
HOpe your bun is better soon
