My girls are penciled in for the summer (I have to wait until Jelly is big enough, as she came to me grossly underweight).
The vet said it's best to do them both at the same time. But my friend who's had several buns said you have to monitor their droppings and eating habits for the first few days. How can I do that if they're in the same cage? (They'll be indoors after the op' as I'm borrowing a cage from my friend). I don't know if I could bring myself to split them up, they become so sad, even when there's just wire between them, they just sit there staring at each other, and sometimes even put their little feet on the mesh to try and touch each other, and they get quite aggressive if it's for more than an hour or so. How do I keep them safe, without upsetting them? Their bond is so strong.
What is the chance of them getting cancer or a cyst? etc. Because I'm debating if this is the right choice. Also, I've heard a lot of stories of rabbits dying during a spay.
I'm really not sure what to do. Apparently it makes them more docile as well... if Mercedes was more docile, she'd be asleep, I've never met a more laid-back animal! :lol:
Also, what actually happens when you go for a spay, from a bunny-owners' point of view? Do they keep the bun in? How long does it take?
And what are the complications/risks?
My rabbits are so teeny tiny... I'm not sure what's best for them :?: :? :?:
Thanks
