All buns are different,depending on breed etc.My late girl Cleo was spayed and within a week her fur had grown right over the wound.She was a cross lionhead/minilop.

Hmm, Buttons is a lionlop so she's furry everywhere and then a little bald patch. She is moulting at the moment so I guess it won't be as noticeable but at the minute I feel bad when I see her belly flop and she's got a big pink patch haha.

I honestly couldn't believe how quickly she had fur growing back.She had dissolving stitches,though she had a chew at one of them,not enough to need further treatment though.I miss my little otter blue Cleo ,she was four when she went to the bridge.
Yes this happened with Thumper's ears which were partly shaved for his dentals. It all depended on his moult cycle.
We also had to shave his tummy one hot year. He was getting frightingly hot despite all measures. His fur didn't start to grow back until the autumn moult.
On the other hand Benjie has had 2 dentals & the fur starts to grow back on his ears within a week.
