Aftercare after a bunny dental

Penny Pocket has got her dental today. This is my first experience with a dental so just wondered what I need to do when she comes home. Do I need to keep her indoors? Do I give her her normal food? Should she eat and poo normally? Should the vet be giving her any pain relief?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated x
 
vet will decide whether she needs any pain relief to come home with. It usually depends how bad teeth are. We dont usually give angel any after hers.
she will need kept warm as she will be left indoors with blanket at vets and sometimes on heat pads so it would be shock to take her straight into cold.
She may not eat for few hours depending on how a sleep she is. You may find that she will get bit food but be real sleepy and not chew it.
We usually give little weetabix with water after ops just to make it more managable but its uaully through night when it dissappears.
Pretty straight forward dentals vet will explain what they want you to do.
 
Fudge had a dental last Thursday and when she got home it was like nothing had even happened.
She got out the carrier running about and binkying and i gave her a treat that she ate. She pooped that night although small poo and its almost back to normal (apart from the hair)

I gave her pain relief that night and that was all. She ate all her dinner and drank so i didnt need to do anything.

Last vet she went to she came back all sleepy so i brought her home and cuddled her on my bed to keep warm, she was back to her normal self in a good couple of hours but didnt eat all her food til the following day.

It depends on what they give them!
Good Luck :wave:
