How long for fur to regrow after op?

Lavender was spayed 6 weeks ago, and her tummy has no signs of any fur growing back - I took this pics earlier today.

I know that Dideen/Chris's Nala was spayed the day before Lavender, and she's mostly grown her fur back already. I know that Nala is a bit more fluffy than Lavender but I thought there'd be at least a bit of stubble or something by now but its still totally bald.

How long have other peoples buns taken to grow their fur back?

Should I start knitting her a boob tube type thing to keep her middle warm? :lol:

(oh dear, I didn't realise she'd got yellowy fur on her tummy, doens't show normally,now she looks like a filthy bunny :shock: - I'll go and have words with her! :? )
 
Miffy my lion head X new zealand white was spayed in oct last year and still has a bald belly!!!
my two rex girls were spayed in nov last year and the fur has fully re grown!
 
I think it depends when you catch them in their moult cycle. They won't regrow until they moult and get new fur so if you catch them mid/pre moult the fur comes back quickly, if she finished moulting just before her op and isn't due another for a few months then she'll be bald a while!

Awww bless her!!!!!!!

When Sophie was spayed, hers grew back quite quickly...

But I have just learnt something new with what Tamsin just said!! :D
 
Marmalade had her spay done at the end of April.
She's got lovely soft white fur back on her belly, this grew back within a fortnight of her op. Guess I was just lucky 8)

Miffy had a major moult about two months ago still no fur on her belly :lol:
 
Thanks for all of your replies, Lavender is showing no signs of moulting so looks like she'll be baldy for a while yet, or perhaps forever if she's anything like Miffy! :shock:

I'll learn to knit by the time winter comes and make her a bunny boob tube :wink: , actually I think a little sparkly number would look fantastic! :roll:
