Yesterday Bunny buddy 4 nearly 5 month old mini lop went to the vet to get neutered, he got home last night all doughy and sleepy he had a bit of veg and hay to eat and some water i was very worried about him.

Today hes nearly back to normal still abit quiet but he keeps having burst of energy and trying to run around and periscoping to look at me. I didn't lock him in his dog crate but i blocked up most of the room so he can recover with out being locked in but still not hurt himself, i also took out anything that he usually jumps on.

How long should i try keep him from running around and climbing things? i checked his bits today and they seem to be healing well, one has a bit of dried blood but the vet said that's normal when they called today i didn't get the chance to talk to them yesterday because i was quite sick so i couldn't ask them lots of questions like i wanted to and had to get my friends to pick him up.

I also signed him up for insurance today they just started doing it for rabbits in New Zealand and they gave me 10% of for the 2 rabbits.
 
Hello :)

Usually it's 3 days to a week for recovery. Females take longer than males.

I'm glad to hear your bunny is feeling better and recovering well from the operation x
 
he keeps trying to climb up the walls to see me im worried that he might pull his stitches if he keeps doing this :(
 
I kept Levi seperate from daisy for about a day and a half. And then I let them back together but only after monitoring them carefully to check there was not too much humping going on (there was none) he was absolutely fine and back to his old self the day after the op to be honest. The wounds were so small I could hardly see them and the vet had used stitches that are inside, so they just dissolved.
