...and now im nervous and worried about it
I've booked it for a Friday so that I've got the weekend to keep an eye on her. Do I just need to keep her quiet and warm until she perks up? Do i need to give her any painkillers?
I hope you don't mind me suggesting this, but our vets wont do routine op on a friday because they are shut most of the weekend which is a problem if the bunny takes a while to recover. I always try to book routine ops for the begining of the week so that the vets are more likely to be open if we need them or the bunny needs to stay in
If your vet offers 24 hour emergency service then obviously there isn't a problem
Just thought it was something to consider :wave:
The vet will most likely prescribe painkillers for her anyway, especially seen as it's on a Friday. I think they should anyway. She just needs a quiet, warm and comfortable place to recover with soft bedding so it doesn't irritate her wound. You need to make sure she's eating, drinking and pooing
I was going to suggest the same.
I booked Alfie in for a Friday, thinking it would be better having the weekend at home to keep an eye on him. It wasn't until the time that I thought I might have been better off booking it for earlier in the week, so I wouldn't have to rely on the emergency vet (and their dearer rates :shock if there was a problem. Bubbles was spayed on a Monday.
There may well be no problems - neither of mine needed any follow up vet visits but it's something to keep in mind.
Just keep her quiet and warm after the op - she may not feel up to much the first evening and probably won't eat hardly anything either but just keep tempting her with tasty treats. If she hasn't eaten by the following morning, that would warrant a call to the vet.
Thanks for the reply
She has her own room, but would it be worth confining (sp?) her to her indoor cage (that she just uses as a base currrently)?
