Hiya,
I have a doe here, 1 year & two months.
She is, ans has been from 4 months, territorially agressive - grunts, lunges & bites me when I go in her hutch.
She is an English rabbit (around small/medium, if anyone has a dutch/english etc. you will know what size I am getting at). And probably weighs 6lbs.
As a result she will not let me pick her up, but obviously I have to once a week to clean her out. Well it was just this weekend when I noticed how fat she was getting! She is really solid & podgy round the belly!!!
She has also gone through all the phantom pregnancies that a doe can possibly have LOL!!! :lol:
Just a couple quick questions -
1) do does calm down when they have been spayed?
2) will it be risky becuase she is overweight??? so should I slim her before going for the op?
3) what is the procedure - is it a big op & what aftercare should I give her bearing in mind she isn't used to being picked up & may not calm down totally for a few weeks :?:
Cheers
