Dillon was castrated yesterday (although was originally a spay but then they found his testicles which were retained), so they had to go in through his abdomen and to remove the one that was stuck. His wound isn't the tidiest still a bit swollen and red which is understandable and the one staple fell out, I've just found it on the floor no blood or anything on it, he has internal stitches which will dissolve, the staple was just an extra precaution she wasn't originally going to use any. I've checked his wound and it hasn't opened at all just looks sore still will check again at 2 on my break from work. If it looks worse at all we will take him straight back obviously.
When we got him back last night he had what feels like vaseline almost on his back fur and around the top of his hind legs, we washed most of it off with a damp cloth and brushed it out. Any ideas what this could be?? It's making him look raggy poor soul and he's been grooming himself a fair bit. Just a bit worried. He's been eating from the moment he got home starting with herbs, and he's been munching hay and more herbs all morning. He's pooped loads, they are a bit black this morning but not soft or sticky. He's only had a couple of tiny wees but he hasn't drank much, just had a small bowl of water that I had some herbs lying in this morning to try to get him to drink. Does this sound okay??
Sorry for the message and I think I just needed to tell someone since I'm off to work soon. He doesn't seem too bad in himself, still coming over to me for a sniff and a little head butt for a stroke. Think I might be more worried since this is my first rabbit and I've hated putting him through this all and was a bit more complicated yesterday than we thought.
