You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

He may still be groggy after the ga. Is he warm enough? have you tried tempting him with something he really likes? is he drinking?

Just give him a bit of time and let him rest. Every so often try and tempt him with his favourite food. Make sure he's got plenty to choose from and he has nice fresh water available.
My advice would be if he hasn't pooed or eaten by tomorrow (late morning) give your vet a call.

As above, let him rest and see how he is in the morning....mine went to be spayed on monday and didnt really 'come round' til the morning after
cant add any better advice then that. i just had my girl done and i really nervous when she wouldnt eat and the first thing she did eat was banana might be worth a try. i think i remember your post asking whether you should put neuter them. its good that youve got them done thats the one thing i like about this forum you get such good advice and its always good when you see people do actually listening to what you say.

Have you put some water in a bowl rather than a bottle? They seem to like a bowl more when they are under the weather.
Both mine liked a slice of apple dipped in water after having a GA:?

Peter (my rabbit) was castrated on Monday. I picked him up at 5pm and he was really quiet and just lay in his cage. We moved him into the living room so he would be warm.
When I picked him up, he was led on a hot water bottle. Once he was settled in his cage (at home), I got my hot water bottle. He snuggled up to that and went to sleep. By the following morning he had more energy and started to eat and drink.

:wave: You could always try using boiled water from the kettle still warm aswell, it may be a bit more palatable and soothing, I have nothing really to add apart from it will take time and lots of peace and quite and warm is important. If you are really worried and need to get some moisture in you could always try cucumber or celery chopped into small pieces aswell. It should say on your receipt if he had pain relief which will last 24 hours, I still had to put a hay on newspaper in his litter tray corner for my little male or he wouldn't have gone. Lots of fresh hay and a bit of a buffet of his favorite things is a good idea and then in the morning you will know what he has eaten and whether he has pooped/wee'd. If not you need to get back to the vet first thing for treatment. I checked on Gizmo in the night aswell just to make sure he was alright. Hope he is OK and just tired. x

It takes them a while to get back to normal eating-wise Amber took a week to get back to eating her usual amount of pellets.
Hope the girliebun's spay goes just as well x
