the bun has to be on pain killer (metacam) for 3 days after that kind of surgery.

Metacam dosage:

dosage (in ml) = weight in KG x 0.1 / 1.5

For the time being, if your bun hasn't eat more than 12 hr. after the surgery, you have to force feed him:

1) Get some non-meat baby food, use a syringe to suck up the baby food, get a cup of hot water, dump the syringe in the hot water for 2 min., now the syringe is warm, so you now syringe feed the baby food to your bun.

Every 1Kg of bunny weight, get 100 ml of food inside him per 24 hr.

OR

2) Get some blackberry or raspberry, smash it via juicer. You need about 6 oz. Get some hay stem, cut the stem in 1 mm length, mixed it w/ the blackberry. Put the mixture in a 35 ml syringe and force feed your bun.
