Hey guys,
So, I pride myself on knowing as much as I can about everything there is to know about rabbits and their care but I'm a natural worrier and frequently question myself on information that I already know.
My new bunny is booked in to be neutered on the 7th of January (this coming Thursday) but I am stressing a lot about it. I have heard so many stories about people's bunnies passing away while under anaesthetic and obviously don't want the same to happen to my sweet little Storm. I have only had him two weeks after rescuing him for someone that was unintentionally neglecting him and I've already developed such an amazing bond with him. He is currently living in my bedroom until he is bonded with my other two (after being neutered and his hormones dying down) and when he comes out for play time he shows me so much love. He responds when I call me and always comes up to me, even if he does charge and binky away after I've given him a treat or a nose rub Today I also laid on the floor to get some proper one on one time with him and he kept climbing on my chest, sniffing my face, giving me kisses and teeth purring..it was the cutest thing!
Anyway, as I was saying, I'm super worried that I might lose him while he's under anaesthetic and just wanted to know what other people's thoughts are on it. Is it as common as I think to lose bunnies while under or is the risk the same as any other animal? It should also be noted that despite really really wanting to take him to a rabbit savvy vet I am unable to as no-one in my immediate family drives so I have to rely on taxis, and as there are no exotic vets near me I am unable to get to one
Any advice or information would be really appreciated as my mind needs reassuring.
