Hi,
New member to the forum with a question if anyone can help me!
I've just had my 3 year old female mini lops Merry and Pippin neutered, as they were mounting each other a lot and having the occasional skirmish. Also wanted to prevent cancer as they are getting older now. For severaL months now, and especially since the operations, Merry (previously very friendly) has become very withdrawn and often runs away when you try to touch her. She never goes for us, but she often looks 'depressed'. She used to be the more dominant of the 2, but now Pippin seems to have become more dominant. The vet didn't say anything else was wrong with her, as we've taken her to them before for 'not being herself' and they can't find anything wrong with her. It's very upsetting as she used to be so friendly and would run to the hutch door to greet you! They have a lovely big hutch/run and are allowed into the garden sometimes.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what might be the problem and how we can help her? would getting a neutered male aswell help?
Thanks.
