Hello all
I wonder if anyone can help? I had my 5 month old buck castrated on 7th August. Before then he was eating fine and generally a happy little boy. Every since the op he has been different. The vet I saw for the post op check said he had an infection from licking, but my bunny savvy vet said he was fine and just had a bit of irritated skin, which I believe was correct. He has gone off pellets since the op and it has been very hit and miss as to whether he will eat them. Last Thursday he ate all his pellets and veg, but since Friday morning he won't touch them and will now only eat grass, hay and weeds, but is pooing, etc. I am questioning teeth (I had a previous bunny with molar spurs, so am quite well informed on teeth issues!) but cannot believe he would already have problems at 5 months old when he was perfectly fine before the op? He also seems very different in himself now, very disinterested in things and generally fed up during the day. He is not sitting in a hunched position, indicating pain, nor is he grinding to indicate pain - I just don't know what's going on? At night he seems quite lively, which I can't understand if he is in pain? It's like he's had a total character transformation and I can't understand what has happened? I am going to the vets on Wednesday, but any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
