Interesting that the Vet does NOT give prokinetics (ie Metoclop') as a matter of routine when doing a GA. She prefers to wait to see if voluntary eating occurs within an hour of Bun waking from GA. If not she starts syringe feeds, 20ml/kg, monitors lungs and gut sounds and analgesic cover, only administering metoclop if the Rabbit remains anorexic for several hours.

I think I'd be quite happy if my vet did that. I know it's different but after I've had a GA I haven't felt like eating straight away. I don't think my own vet gives metaclop after ops but my buns (apart from Molly) have all started eating so I haven't queried it. I try to get tasty treats to tempt them after a stay at the vet and hand feed if necessary just to get tums started again.
I really haven't got the hang of quoting
