Hi guys I was hopping someone can advice me on how to look after belle when she comes home in an hour :) have removed the ledge in her cage so she can't jump up will put blankets on the floor and her bowl for water have left her toilet in there with hey in. Main thing I'm worried about is that vet said wont need extra pain relief as the injection will do? Do you think I should ask them for some anyway and if so what do I get? Also they said the stitches will be dissolve able ones? Would love advise as belle is only 6 months old and really want to do the best for her
 
The Injection should last until tomorrow anyways. They might ask to see her the next day or you can ask for something at home.

Lots of nice herbs to tempt her to eat again is something else to consider. Vibes for a quick recovery. xx

Hi what's Vibes? They said would see her in 2 days
 
If they are not seeing her again till Monday I would ask for extra pain relief (metacam or similar) incase she needs any over the weekend when the vets may not be open. Its a big internal op for the females and 24hrs of pain relief is not always enough.

Thanks will ask x
 
Can you also suspend her hay in a rack or something if it isn't already? I assume you know no straw seen as you've said she has blankets in her cage.

Vibes are just well wishes for bunnies, and good thoughts!
 
We also don't have any bedding on the floor of her cage she normally has full run of the house / carpeted when we are in :) would I need to put some bedding down for her while she's recovering also I think she would be best kept in the cage for the rest of today so she doesn't try and jump up on the couch for a cuddle :(
 
I should check on her now and again her but mostly leave her to her own space. When Little was spayed she just wanted to be left alone to heal.
