Lifting and cleaning out pen of bun after spaying?

Vita · Dec 8, 2011

So I know in advance...

Bedding (blankets / towels) will need to be changed frequently, but how do I do this when there is a very sore bunny who needs to rest? Normally I would have them run about or go into the other cage or carrier of their own accord

Julie moved around very soon after her spay. She moved a bit slow and not to far but I cleaned up after she moved over. Maybe just clean around the bunny and hopefully she will move over to the clean spot and you can clean where she was.

When I clean them after spays I have the bottom of the carrier lined with a towel or blanket. To lift, make sure one hand is right up under her elbows and one supporting her bottom and move her. They are sore but don't mind being lifted gently. It also provides a good opportunity to check her scar. I hope it all goes smoothly!

Thank you! This sounds like something that will work for me.

So it's a lot like normal lifting, just making sure the front hand is a little further forward, and being even more careful to be gentle with her.
