AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I had Cameo spayed today, and to be honest she has bounced back so quickly that if someone else had taken her I wouldn't have believed she had the op!

However, she is back in her hutch (It is so hot here she will be warmer in there than in the caravan with me) and going mad cos she hasn't got her run:shock::shock:
In the end I put the ramp back as she was going to really hurt herself with her tantrum and she is now happily sitting in the run watching the world go by and eating.

I know this isn't usual practice, but I don't know what else to do! Any suggestions?
 
:shock: So unlike my girl that sat hunched in her hutch.

All I know is keep her confined in a small space for about a week. Good luck.
 
All buns are different.Years ago I got my late wee girl cleo spayed. Her husbun Rio was in the living room slobbing on the carpet,so I moved her in her cage in there .(both were house rabbits) This was three hours after her op,I opened the cage door to put some food in and out she leapt,and started binkying all over the place!Cue me in a panic trying to catch her and put her back in the cage,she wasn't having any of it.In the end I left her to lie beside her husbun.I kept an eye on her wound,luckliy she healed really well and only one stitch had come loose.She was fine after her vet check five days later,her fur had even grown back.I lost her last April to severe gut stasis ,and her husbun this year in Feb due to a heart attack,she was 4 and he was 8.
 
Thanks guys!

I left her to choose between hutch and run and she is fine and dandy today:love:
Her wound is fine, and she is happily eating still.
I have a theory, that after spending so long in a tiny hutch she IS NOT going to be cooped up or confined in anyway again. She stamped and butted the carrier the whole way to the vets in the carrier and the whole way home after the spay:roll:

:shock: I had to laugh at the butting the carrier.:lol: She has done really well. I think the confinement is to stop the wound from opening. My girl had chewed her stitches.:roll: Thankfully not much.

A strong and fiesty little girl! I'm sure she'll be fine as long as you watch her wound etc.
