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.

Our vet asked us to bring our girl back and he just quickly inspected the incision to ensure there was no sign of infection or mishealing. It was very quick and he just reweighed her and asked us questions about her eating and bathroom habits to ensure she was recovering well.

So would I be
Could you get to an emergency vet for some? How long ago was she spayed? Perhaps you could get some from your vet in the morning? I know mine had Metacam the night they came home.TBH I would be furious and would change to a rabbit savvy vet ASAP.
Good luck.
Well done for talking to the vet. I would suggest getting some Metacam (pain relief) tomorrow. To put it a different way, a lady would not have a hysterectomy without folow up pain meds. A rabbit also needs them.
Its good she has been eating.
For a heat source you can give a snugglesafe (if you have one). Another option is to get some uncooked rice and put it in a sock and heat it in the microwave, or warm it in the oven if you don't have a microwave.
After an anaesthetic a bunny can't maintain its body temperature so may need some assistance.
