Wise Old Thumper
At long last! I found a vet willing to keep them overnight, and at no extra charge too :D:D:D as long as I bring some hay and food (which I had planned to do anyway!). It's a longer journey (nearly 3.5hours there), but its worth it.

Now I just have to hope I don't chicken out and cancel it...I have done that 3 times now, but I am really going to do it this time. They sounded lovely on the phone, and really understand my issues with losing Thumper while being neutered. They seem lovely...Invergordon vets.

Please send vibes...I really need them. Now I just have to hope my carriers arrive before Tuesday :roll:

You and you lovely bunnies WILL be fine. I am sorry to hear about Thumper, what a terrble loss and a scare for you considering he was only going in for a neuter :( Everything will be ok :) Keep positive and all will be positive!
 
Millions of vibes for your babies, they will be fine, and so will you!

Keep us posted xxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Big vibes! Try and not stress too much, it's natural to worry about them though.

My mum's bun Smokey was spayed last week and she's doing great :D
 
Thanks guys :) I started painting their new shed, so once its painted, I'll get it built, then once the buns are all healed, they can move in :D
 
Thanks for all the vibes! Their carriers came today, perfect :D Got a hotel room booked too for Tuesday night. All seems to be working nicely for a change.
 
Sending lots of get 'heal quickly soon' vibes.
I have never regretted betting a bunny spayed, I always felt they were better for it.
I havnt had one done for a few years though, as they have already been done at the rescues I took them from.
You will naturally worry, but the relief you will feel a few days after will make the worry worthwhile.
 
Question - What painkillers do I need to ask for them to be given afterwards? I have Cat Metacam at home (half a bottle or so), will that be enough incase they seem in pain? Is it effective enough for spays?

I am starting to have doubts again...I'm so stupid :cry:

I am going to keep them indoors on fleece for a few days in a dog cage with a pen. I read they shouldn't be on hay incase it irritates the wounds, so should I put something else in their litter tray?

As they are used to their hay being on the floor, should I give them less? They don't really like racks.
