Hi :wave:

I'm taking Daisy to be spayed tomorrow. I'm sure she'll be fine - but any extra tips and advice for post spay would be great!

Thank you! I will be thinking of you and your girls too. I'm sure yours will make a quick recovery - having eachother for company is always good! Daisy is a single bun at the moment, I am going to bond her with my 2 males over xmas as I'll be off work to keep an eye on things!

Are you buns indoors or outside? x
 
It's always nerve wracking getting a pet spayed but at least you know it's the best thing for her in the long run. Head rub from me ;)
 
Ours are both outdoor so they are staying overnight Tuesday and coming back Wednesday afternoon/evening :)

Hope the bonding goes well :)

Oh right, I'm dropping Daisy off at 08.30 tomorrow morning, then assume I will be able to collect her tomorrow after work - around 6pm. I am worried that I will be at work on Tues and leaving her? I guess if she is eating and is comfortable she will be ok during the day?

I dont know much about the aftercare yet but the only thing that I though of was what about giving pain meds? she might need those through the day? Mine are only staying at the vets becuase I dont really have any indoor space to bring them in overnight after the operations :( I feel mean leaving them there though :(
 
I'm back with Daisy. She's understandably very quiet, but she hasn't eaten since her op :( The vets we're happier for me to keep her at home, indoors and monitor her over the night, I have metacam - but the vets said to give her this in the morning. I have tried all her fave foods, to no avail. She has drank some water from a bowl in the last half an hour though.
How long does it usually take for buns to eat after a spay? Should I be overly worried? I have food to syringe feed if necessary.
 
Daisy has just had a slight nibble of banana, but nothing much. Should I intervene and syringe feed her? Or maybe give her some pain relief before the morning?
 
I wouldn't be able to wait till morning with the pain relief, maybe if you gave her just a little bit to see if she perks up? She needs to eat :(
 
Daisy has barely eaten through the night, I have tried to syringe feed her but she's not been interested :( She has nibbled on a strand of hay, and had 2 small slices of banana and a very small amount of oats, probabaly around half a teaspoon.

This morning she has been sneezing, and I am quite concerned so I am off to the vets at 9.20am to see if they can give her some cisapride (gut stimulant) and see why she is sneezing.

My poor bunny, I really hope she pulls through this :cry:
 
Daisy is improving! :D

She had a delayed reaction from the anaesthetic and has a wheezy chest, so she is now on some Baytril to help with this. I syringe fed her some more food this morning and gave her some more pain relief and then went to work for a couple of hours. I've just come back to check on her and she has come out of hiding and is eating on her own! :D I'm so happy!
