Young Bun
Ok, so I brought both my buns to be spayed/neutered today. The vet called and said my girl did pretty well, but they had trouble locating an ovary and had to make a longer cut and she needed staples. She's due back once it heals to remove those.
When they went to put my little boy under though, he started to get a little fluid in his lungs. He was fine before. They didn't go through with the surgery and woke him back up. Does anyone know what would cause this and would it mean he can't be fixed? They said they wanted to maybe try again in a few weeks to see if he does better next time.
UPDATE:
Well, it's been about a day and although she's in a bit of pain, my little girl seems to be doing alright. She's eating, even though it isn't very much. She's pooing too thankfully, but it's really dark and oddly shaped because her diet is all messed up now. She doesn't want pellets right now but she's enjoying the romaine lettuce and kale and tiny bits of hay. The vet said to keep the fiber coming. She isn't drinking much either so I think anything mildly juicy will help. As long as she's eating something and it's coming out the other end I think she'll be alright. I've got some pumpkin (don't worry, no sugar) on hand in case things seem like she's getting backed up a bit and I can't call the vet. I've been debating if I should purchase some Bene Bac for her to try and get things back to normal. I don't know if you guys have Bene Bac where you are, but it's just a probiotic suppliment that I think might help her poos become more regular.
My boy isn't going to be able to be neutered for another month, because of scheduling problems. I might call another vet to see if they can get him in sooner. Maybe it's for the best though. I wanted them done at the same time, but nursing one bunny back to health is enough work already!
