Hi
Im new to this site but i think this site is great!
I have a british giant rabbit called Ginny and she is totally different from any rabbit we have had in the past.
she's more like cross between a dog, cat and a child because of her personality and alot more special than any rabbit we've ever had in the past.
she's quite well known as well due to she does fund rasing for charity at craft fayres, kids parties etc. she loves all the fuss and attention.
The past year she's had everything. sore hocks, this exma type condition on her month and nose when she molts and also v. sensitive skin on her hind legs. luckily everything seems to be under control now and is clearing up nicely. we read that it's advisable to spay a rabbit due to ovary problems etc. but because of everything we didnt want to get her spayed at the time so as not to stress her out more than we needed to.
Ginny's a very happy rabbit (out in a hudge hutch in the day and then comes in at night for lots of cuddles) but when she is stressed she does tend to loose weight.
Ive booked her to get spayed on the 10th but due to recent medicine she had to take for her feet, she's not drinking much water (because she thinks it's in the water even tho she's not on it any more. so been giving her lots of watered down veg etc. she is weeing like normal tho.) she's 2 and half years old and ginny is the only large rabbit that our vet deals with. is it worth having the op. or would it be advisable to leave her be as she is? or shall i just prospone it until she's drinking normaly? I should add that she also isn't aggresive at all.
