Sedation

Does anyone know how long it generally takes to come round fully from sedation? Hiro was quite bright this morning before we took him in but he's a little quiet now. He is picking at food and toileting ok though.

I had a rabbit sedated last week, not a full GA. A couple of hours later he had come round and was eating. It probably depends on how much sedation the vet has administered and also the physical health/constitution of the rabbit?

Glad to hear he is picking at his food etc :)
 
He seems ok and he is picking etc but he just doesn't seem as good as he was this morning. I guess he's had a log, stressful day though :( They sedated him to keep him still for his CT so I guess it could be quite a lot?

Yes, could well have been quite a dose as they took their time and did a really thorough job, didn't they? x
 
Around 12 hours for sedation to leave the system :)

So he should be back to normal now i would expect?

He definitely seems more with it. He's not eating a great deal though so I'm going to ring up and get some more Metacam. He's actually sat in his tunnel grooming Sylar. Lovely boy.
