I didnt know wether to ask this here or in the medical section but I just wondered what everyone had done after their girls were spayed with regards to ramps etc?
Poppy 4 days post spay as of this morning and Daisy was 3 days post spay as of this morning...they live in a double level hutch that has a ramp for access up and down. At the moment I have them restricted to the upstairs of the hutch with the ramp blocked off. How long do I need to keep them like that for? They are back at the vets monday night so I was thinking about leaving it and asking the vet but as soon as I open the hutch door they are pushing each other out the way to get some fuss etc and Im wondering if they are feeling a little couped up :?
They are eating and drinking really well, poops are back to almost golden again etc. They are moving around easily etc but im just worried about the fact that they are cramped up in the upstairs. They normally have the run of the 2 story hutch plus their attached run.
Any advice would be great...I did search but couldnt find exactly what I was looking for. Sorry if im asking ovious questions
Also the vet suggested leaving hay for bedding untill a week after surgery...does this sound about right? Im using towels/fleece blankets etc at the moment and changing them every couple of hours but when they poop on them obvously the poop just sits on the towels rather than sifting down into the hay and Im worried they wont want to go and snuggle in their bedroom becuase its mucky (im changing towels every couple of hours and sifting out poop inbetween but there is still somethere each time I go out to the hutch!).
