Spaying - post-op

Good evening all,

I now have two options to have my bunny spayed, but none of them are that great, and as no vet here can give me a proper answer to my question, I'll try here:

1. Travel 2.5 hours in a car on a really dodgy road, and then 2.5 hours back again after the op - in my opinion, this is not even an option
2. Travel 6 hours on a train, and then let her recover in a vet's facility which is manned 24 hours a day, but away from her home, and sadly also from me for 5 days - not ideal, but at least she will have proper care, although without all the lveo and attention I normally shower her with
3. Leave her unspayed and hope for the best - I don't think I can do this, as I will worry sick

I really don't know what do... :(
 
I see you live in the Ukraine, so I guess you need to travel far to see your vets.

What about a 2.5 hour car trip and leave her there for a few days to recover, then pick her up in the car ?

If those were my options I'd go with number two providing she's ok with the traveling. I know happysaz on here has done similar with hers but I think she stayed overnight somewhere near the vets rather than travelling home. Is there any reason she'd have to stay away from home for 5 days rather than one or two?
 
Thank you for your answers - no, there is no reason why I can't stay with ehr for 2 days - I just it would be better for her to not get stressed before 5 days or so have passed?

She is not a big fan of travelling, so I think the train ride would be bad for her in a "depleted" condition, so it is probably better if I do the car ride, and stay overnight with her in this place and then take her back after one or two days depending on how she is feeling...
