Ive never had issues with bunnies bleeding after being neutered before but dexters just moved and left a patch of blood. is this normal?
He's eating, pooping and drinking now and having a wander about. The wound looks dry now. He started licking the blood! Ewww. Hopefully he'll be fine in the morning. Going to keep checkingI think you need to check the area,if he has pulled the stitches and it's a mess then he may well need to see a vet tonight. If its no longer bleeding and the incision looks tidy he probably doesn't need any further vet treatment tonight.
My Thor had terrible trouble after his neuter, he dislodged an internal stitch and his freshly emptied ball sac filled with blood and swelled up like a balloon :shock::shock::shock: it sort of oozed blood all over his tummy and was very alarming. He was fine, despite me waking the poor on call vet up several times with my phone calls, I took him back to the vets the next morning and they admitted him for monitoring but it just needed to be left to heal on its own really it took a few weeks to fully go :shock: on the other hand he liked his metacam :lol:
If you are worried then does your vet have an out of hours service? Talking to a vet can really help settle your worries (I pestered mine throughout the night and was even emailing her pictures of my bunnies balls :lol
Most importantly is he eating and pooping yet?

Wow I though I was replying to a super old post, just wanted to leave my paw print in case others are searching the same info. Didnt expect so many replies. Thank you all for your support.
He was such a sweet boy with personality of a puppy, likes licking my hands and face too. We bonded really well.
Here are some photos of him sleeping next to my work area and snuggling next to me. I tend to try make some meaningful sense out of every bad situation but death really doesnt make any sense. Best to you all.
