Booked Belle's spay. Post spay advice.

foxy2279 · Jan 30, 2013

I have booked my dd's Bunny Belle's spay for next wednesday, I feel sick. She is my dd's bunny and she loves her to bits. The thought of losing her makes me want to vomit. My dd knows the risks involved but the pro's far outweigh these.

Just wondering what post spay care eg painkillers and keeping her as comfortable as possible advice people can give me. I have only had my two boys deplumed and know this is alot more serious operation than that. My vet uses glue instead of staples/sitches.

My vet has advised me to bring some of her favorite food to tempt her to eat afterwards. Plus give her a nice breakfast before bringing her in

.

She is a indoor rabbit so will be in for post spay care so we can watch her carefully.

Hi

Metacam is a must as they will feel sore. Also because underneeath they will be feeling sore so no hay or straw on the floor, use towels and fleece blankets.

When she is home, try to tempt her with her favourite food although it may take her til the following day til she starts feeling better.

Makesure you take a lunchbox with some food and treats when you drop her off at the vets.

Oh and keep her confined to a smaller area and only one story height(no ramps etc) otherwise it can aggreivate the wound.

I think thats it and good luck

Basics:

- Don't starve pre-op
- Make sure they have pain medication for at least seven days
- Make sure they are eating before they come home
- Get it done early week so if any complications arise you won't be paying for an out of hours visit
- Have some supplies ready for when they return (favourite treats, fruit juice, syringes, Critical Care etc)
- Don't use bedding that may stick to the wound, use towels or fleece until it scabs over at least
- Check the wound every day
- Clean enclosure out whilst she's away so you won't have to disturb her whilst she's recovering

Thank you for the advice everyone.

We have bought her a pet bed mat to line her floor with (normally this is done with hay she likes to make herself little nests) and some fleece blankets.

Thats good

Also, just put some hay in a little pile so if she fancies some, she won't get her wound irritated if it was just laying on the floor.
