I am panicking, have been putting it off for months as scared of losing her. She is now 9 months so I can't put it off anymore. She seems fit and well and is a big bun (she is a French lop). I lost two girl buns very close together earlier this yeaf and Lloyd hamster went to the Bridge on Tuesday.
I know no-one can guarantee she will be ok but her chances are good, aren't they?
 
Think positive she will be in and back home before ya no it bless her sending loads a vibes for Falon :love:
 
Her chances are very good. I've had 4 females spayed and they all recovered well. I kept them inside overnight and offered them their favourite foods so they would eat. I hated leaving them at the vets in the morning tho, and the day dragged until I got the phone call. Hope it all goes well :wave:
 
I'm sure she will be fine, i dreaded Amber's spay and cried when she went in :oops: She was fine though.

Make sure she has a good breakfast before she goes in. There's loads of good adivce with regards to aftercare on here too.

It is scary i agree but try not to worry they know what they are doing.
My Phoebe has just been spayed and she is a snuffles bun, all went well and she had an overnight stay as my vet likes them to be eating and pooing before they are dischacged.
My Scarlett was also neutered the week before with no problems and yet again she had an overnight stay and was only allowed home once she had eaten and pooed.

Good Luck! xx
 
Thanks x. I havebjust dropped her off and vet will ring when done. Should hear by 12. Just feel sick.

She'll be just fine :) I ws EXACTLY the same when Little was spayed; she looked so small and delicate and she had a snotty nose... but these girly buns are tougher than we give them credit for!!
 
Pleased she's OK. Don't panick if she doesn't want to eat. Doughnut didn't eat until the following day and had not time for her pellets. Just wanted herbs and tempted her with rose petals!

She also had 5 days of pain relief and fibreplex, so I knew she wasn't in any pain.

It is a worrying time but well worth it as opposed to seeing her die of cancer. Good for you for having it done.
 
Apple and Dandelion leaves go down well after GA i find. Make sure she keeps warm when she comes home.

I do actually have an odd theory that after a bun has a GA, their food preference change. They seem prefer other types of greens/veg that they usually leave til last in their bowl and turn their nose up at their favourites.

Hurrah!! Knew she'd be okay. I should leave her very quiet this evening, but offer her all her favourite snacks. Also, she might be walking funny; Little was walking on tippy toes for a few days after hers because her tum hurt. Sending happy healing binky vibes and twitchy noses x :lol:
 
thanks for the advice. she is home and chilling out in kitchen. i am going to put her in the old guinea cage tonight so she is comfy but cant move too much. however she wants to stretch legs. she did eat at vets so that is good.
