Behavior After Neutering?

Aesop had his operation yesterday and all went smoothly. The wound seems clean and tidy, no oozing or bleeding. He still seems quite slow and a little confused 24hrs on, is that to be expected?
His poops are also very tiny, about half the size of his normal ones although he is eating and drinking, is this just from the stress or should I be concerned?
Thanks in advance!

I am glad that Aesop's neuter went well and that his wound is looking good. I think that anaesthetic can have an effect on the size of a rabbit's poops afterwards and I would not be concerned by that if he is eating and drinking well. As you say it could also be that the stress has also had an impact. It's quite difficult to give advice regarding the slowness and confusion without being able to witness it. I think if it were me, I would wait until tomorrow morning and then if you still feel he is not quite right, I would give your vets a call.
Sending lots of vibes for Aesop's recovery.
 
Thanks very much. He seems to have perked up quite a bit now, I think it was just him being a bit confused with such a change to his body and me overreacting :oops::)
 
Well yes, I can imagine it must be confusing to just suddenly wake up and bits of your body are just...well... not there anymore :lol:
