George going for his Op Tomorrow

George is going in to be castrated, have his teeth sorted and his brc ring removed. The poor thing has only been with us just over a week but the vet is concerned about his teeth and wanted to get them sorted as soon as possible. He has had a fair but of change lately so I hope he copes OK with the general anaesthetic. Next week it is one of my other bunny's turn to be spayed. I have taken a couple of days off work to look after her as I believe female rabbits can be quite poorly afterwards (Nala is my first female).
Tips on after care would be great.
Thanks

Fingers crossed for George. Levi was absolutely fine when he went in. By the following evening he was bouncing around like his normal self, and even in the vet when I went to pick him up he was pretty awake and alert. I'm sure George will be absolutely fine, though his teeth might make him a bit more on the sore side I guess. I need to get daisy spayed soon as well, a bit nervous about it if I'm honest!
 
Fingers crossed for George tomorrow and Nala next week. :thumb:

The main thing when bunnies go in for surgery is to make sure that they eat afterwards. A good vet will not send a bunny home before they are satisfied with the amount they are eating/pooing. My female bun bounced back quite quickly after her spay.

Most vets use dissolvable sutures nowadays instead of 'normal' stitches.
