Hi,

Milo is due to be neutered next Friday, but i'm not having Gracie spayed just yet. Do you think i should take Gracie to the vets with Milo or leave her at home??

Just dont know what to do for the best, especially with Milo spending 3 days at the vets when we first brought him home, i dont really like the idea of stressing him out again, so it might be better if Grace is with him, but then as she's not having the op will she be stressed being cooped up in the vets all day (they do let them out for a run)

Thanks in advance
 
I always take mine together, so I would advise taking her along as well. DOn't know how other people feel about this.
 
I'd agree - but if boy bun, isn't neutered yet, & girl bun isn't spayed, couldn't girl bun be pregnant?

Or am i being thick??

If she is old enough to get pregnant then no!! Don't take her with him, some male buns stay fertile after their ops for 6weeks!! I thought they were already bonded and living as a pair if they are seperate at the mo keep them that way til he's de hormoned then introduce them.

They take all the girls bits out when they spay them so she can't get pregnant immediately after the op but if you give her 10days to heal, that should give Milo time to calm down too and fingers crossed you'll have two loved up buns!!
 
Hi Ruth! Milo's got plums at 13 weeks??? Why hasn't my Humphrey got plums yet - he's five months now!! :lol: It's not fair!!:cry: :lol: Especially as I'm having to wear long wellies when he's free range in the garden - ankle still not recovered yet, I'm scarred for life!!:shock: Claire x Please pray for Humph's plums!

Some larger buns mature later than smaller ones which if Humphrey is a larger model of a rabbit this may account for his later development. Saying that I recently had a litter of dutches whom were very slow to develope their plums, I was beginning to question if we had wrongly sexed them, but by 4.5 months they suddenly appeared almost overnight. Have you checked Humphrey recently to ensure he is not a she :oops: on the other hand he may just be a late developer
 
My theory is that Humph sneeks online and has seen all the discussions about his plums. He has decided everyone is out to get them so he is keepin' 'em hidden !! :lol:

:lol: I agree, Jane!! He's a challenge, my Humph! He's so sick of going back and forth to the Vets about his eyes, that he's decided "She ain't seeing my plums - I'm keeping them hidden!" (PS. He is a "large model" - a Frenchie!) Claire x
