Mimi's getting spayed on Tuesday

I've got towels ready to line the cage and a water bowl has already replaced her bottle.

Any advice/anything I should be esp. careful about or watch out for?

Thanks; I'm so nervous!

I can't advise, but i hope it all goes fine and she has a speedy recovery! Keep us updated

Thanks Matt! I really appreciate it

This is a good article on caring for rabbits after surgery

Note she says firstly check you have a vet who is trained in rabbit medicine - many of them specialise in dogs and cats, not rabbits.

This site has a vet questionaire - if you have any doubts about your vet then look elsewhere as your bunny's life depends on it.

Ideally choose a vet who can do invisible, internal stitching, as rabbits are notorious for chewing stitches, and wearing a headcollar stresses them and stops them eating their caecal poops - you will need to feed these to her if she has a collar on.

Hope it goes OK, assuming your vet is fine Does she already eat grass and veggies? It's best to spay them when they are used to eating these as they usually go off dry food totally for a couple of days, and obviously you don't want to introduce new food which could make them ill when they are already poorly from an operation. Assuming she's a veggie eater, make sure you have lots of stocks in to temp her, or let some grass and dandelions grow long in your garden. You may have to bop her on the nose with it before she'll eat it. Depending what time of day she has the op, she may be too sleepy to eat until about 2am, so don't worry if she's really drowsy at first, just check on her in the night.

Hark at me 'the expert' I have to say none of my 5 girls are spayed

Thanks a lot, Elve! That link is excellent I've got a great vet, she does internal stitches (she offered that info before I'd even read about it!), uses a laser so it's less invasive, and an anesthetic (sp?) that I've read is good for rabbits...She's the best rabbit vet in this city, so I'm as confident as I could possibly get.

And yes, she loves veggies

She's having the pre-surgical check @ 8:30 for roughly 20 min, then surgery, the coming home in the afternoon, no later than 5, I understand. What time do you think she should begin eating?

You'd best ask your vet what time she operates - my vet keeps the animals in from their 8.30am checkup, then holds her regular surgery for the public till 12 noon, when she starts operating on the animals left that morning for her. I guess every vet has their own routine - Your vet sounds great by the way!

Thank you so much!

god luck for today.
