Coco's come round from her spay/anasthetic just fine :D Doesnt matter how often you go through these things, the wait never gets any easier :?

Anyway its normal practice at my Vets now to keep the buns overnight after a spay to make sure they are eating ! Ive never had it before but its good they take the time with them. Hopefully she'll be even more pleased to see me and will have forgotten that I was the one to take her in the first place !
All the best to everyone else with the ongoing vets visits.

Great news Tahra! But if you're anything like me, you'll not settle til she's back in your arms :roll: It's good that the vet is keeping an eye on her eating/pooing too, takes the pressure off you :wink: :lol:
 
Oh that must be a huge relief for you Tahra, bet you cannot wait to go and collect her tomorrow. :)
Best wishes and snuggles for Coco
 
Ah glad Coco came round OK :) My vets keeps buns in too after an op to check they are OK and eating fine. I def didn't settle until I had collected Pip, but at least I knew she was in good hands in case anything did go wrong. I may have to go through all this again a few weeks :(

Give Coco lots of bunny snuggles from me when u get her home :)

Thats good news Tahra.. just one thing that I'm confused about. As she's at the Vets overnight - who is there to keep an eye and make sure she does eat & poop? Its really good that they are taking bunny care seriously.

I think that quite a few vets have an over-night stayer on duty, I know of two vet practices (including our own) who have a rota system for vets staying in the practice overnight, I think it's a great idea.

That is a good idea :) mine would prob friet being away from mummy though :lol:
 
That's great news! I can remember the day I got Fonzie spayed! I had to phone the vet after 3pm, so every time the phone rang I felt sick because I thought it might be the vet with some bad news! :shock: She was absolutely fine, though! A bit grumpy! :lol: It's really good that they're keeping your bunn in over night! I bet Coco can't wait for a huge hug and some nice veggies! :D

Take care & Blessed Be!!
 
There is normally a vet or a vet nurse who stays at practice over night and is 'on call'. They check the patients during the night and if there is a really sick animal, these will need meds during nights anyway so there has to be somebody there. Does obv depend on ur vets, mine now are great and I don't mind leaving her O/N but I wouldn't have been quite as happy with my previous vets keeping them in O/N after an op!

yeah I have no probs in trusting our vets with her - I was just suprised since it wasnt their usual practice before. Must say I was glad when I found out it was my favourite vet on ops today! Anyway told them she doesnt like carrots and is very good about her hay ! ( She's even onto selective now Lynda!)

I'll pass on everyone's cuddles :D :D
 
OMG, its gratifying to see how enlightened Vets are becoming - an overnight nurse indeed, I've got visions of someone wrapped in a sleeping bag with the alarm set every couple of hours - bless.
 
One of my friends does the night shift sometimes at her vet practise, she was up every couple of hours one night to administer drugs, I don't think they get much sleep when they are on nigght duty!!!

It is good that vets do this, I always take her food in with her and last time I took her bed in too so she could smell home and had something comfy to sit on. Also took her a chew stick, when I went in to visit her that evening she had munched some out of it so I was very happy!! They also moved her to a bigger kennel at night and gave her a litter tray - just like a bunny hotel :D
