My little foster bun was spayed on Thursday and is having real problems post op.
She took a long time coming round from the anaesthetic and the night after was still flat and not moving, at 9.30pm you could lay her on her side and she would make no effort to right herself. Since then she will not drink for herself and is only picking at hay, so I have been syringe feeding her, up until yesterday evening she was taking it all relatively ok, but all of a sudden she started scrapping at the vet bed and hiding her mouth and really fighting taking the syringe feeds. She seems pretty lively in herself, she does have other problems, possible epilepsy and she has cataracts but when I put her out in the run she hops around, and in inquisitive and "normal" bunny behaviour (minus eating and drinking) she has done some poops post op but they dont seem to come regularly.
This morning I had to give her sub cut fluids and her emeprid sub cut rather than oral (I have both at home) as she wouldn't let me anywhere near her mouth. Why could this be? She has been nibbling on hay so I wasn't sure it was dental pain.
ETA: I only had oral metacam but I managed to get that into her mouth with a struggle :?
