Dee, my 5 and a half year old Nethie, was spayed yesterday morning. the spay itself went fine, but she is not eating or pooing... The vets have kept her in overnight and she is still there now, but she is going to be collected by us at 5.15 to see if she relaxes more in her home environment. The vets have been syringe feeding her, but she's done absolutely nothing poo wise! To me that is slightly confusing, because I would have thought having all that food in her would have surely made her poo but hey ho... Anyways, I just want a bit of advice as to keep syringe feeding as less stressful as possible? She's going back to the vets tomorrow for a check up but I have never syringe fed a bunny before! Is it the same as giving her medicine? Thanks :wave:
ETA: I'm wondering if I've made it worse by getting her spayed. The evening before I brought her inside, she's normally outdoors. She was very quiet, her poos were very black and small, and she was barely eating as it was. I probably say she had fifteen pellets from about 7pm to 7.30am the next day when we left. It's just occurred to me that I probably shouldnt have gone through with it if she wasnt eating much the night before?! :?
