After spaying earlier today need help!

[zazatherabbit]

earlier today my rabbit was spayed. She’s a female and when I got home I realize she had this huge lump fire and Sion. It doesn’t seem like it’s causing her any pain but I’m really worried and I wonder if I should take her back I can’t call the vet because it’s closed.

It’s hard to assess the amount of swelling from a photo, I’d need to see it irl and feel it. If it is an actual lump then the Vet needs to examine her. A rare complication of a spay is that it herniates. This would need surgical correction. But a degree of soft tissue swelling is normal and should resolve within 5-7 days. You should have been given a supply of a non steroidal anti inflammatory analgesic to administer daily for about 5 days. This is ESSENTIAL. I would call the Vet to make them aware of your concern about the swelling. As I said, it’s not possible to be certain if there is a hernia from looking at a photo. It’s important that she is eating and pooping, I hope that she is.
