petal still not stretching

don't know if i should be getting more concerned, it's nearly 5 weeks from petal got done and she still doesn't seem to be relaxing or stretching out. she'll just sit in a huddle on the floor. she used to flop out all the time. do you think it's to do with her harmones? it cost £8 to take her to the vets but i just have a feeling that they'll shrugg their shoulders. i would take her done if i thought it was serious. any opinions are welcome.
 
a spay is an avasive operation so maybe shes a bit worried herself on stretching at the mo, so maybe with a bit more time, internal infections can occur, maybe just ringing the vet for advise may help so you dont have to take her in,

as long as she eating and pooing fine she should be fine, biggles took 3 months before he stetched his back feet right out after his snip, before hed just put his legs out to the side but his is on the outside im not sure on spays
 
yeah she's fine in herself and seems to be doing more running about. it's just so hard to gauge. she's touchy at me touching her belly. cos had a feel at her scar. it felt okay but lumpy but there was nothing oozing. will maybe give the vets a call to see. thanks areia
 
Awww bless, glad to hear she is bouncing around again, she is proberly still a little sore, it is a big op for bunnies.

She will be back to herself in no time :D
