Hi
Just wondering if i could get some opinions before i go slighlty mad!
I foster rabbits for the rspca, i currently have 5 in my care, ben and josh a bonded pair of brothers and simon and is two brothers that like in the wendyhouse.
simon and his brothers must be about 7-8 months old, when they came to me the owner said she thought they were boys, i had a look and agreed.
took them to the vet the next week cause they wernt very well and she said they were all girls. and simon (simona!) had a heart murmer but the would monter it carefully when they spay her. i then booked them in to be spayed a few weeks later.
took them down to be spayed, had them checked by a nurse....all girls.....all fine left them there and got a call a hour later to say that they were infact all boys and couldent be nutered cause their bits hadnt droped.....and they couldnent nuter simon cause of his heart murmmer.
Have now left it a couple of months before taking the boys to the vet to be nutered this morning.....when i spoke to them on the phone i explaned bout simon and said that as they were bonded i didnt want to split them up for the day so would it be ok if they all came to the vets....they said yes.
got there this morning and they put the two brothers in seperate cages and told me simon couldent stay, they also recon one of his brothers is infact a girl!
sooo i was wondering if it was normal for the vets to split up three bonded rabbits when neutering, i can understand for a bit afterwards whilst they come round but surley not all day??
fingers crossed everything will be ok
