So far so good :thumb: Lots of droppings this morning and a big wee. He also did a binky which I told him off for, you wouldn't think he had surgery less than 48 hours ago :roll:
He was lying down and he let me have a good look at his incision, it's quite impressive! All looks to be normal so I'll just check every morning and hopefully all will be fine until his post op appointment next week. He's so well behaved with letting me check all his bits out, he lets me bathe his sore hock too - without flinching!

This was exactly what Winston was like! He looked so forlorn in his carrier when I picked him up from the vets but as soon as he was home it was like he hadn't had surgery! Glad Dave is doing well

How often do you think I should let Dave out to stretch his legs? He's in a dog crate in the conservatory at the moment, so he's not got a great deal of space to move around in. I let him out for half hour this morning which he enjoyed. It's a very narrow conservatory but about 15ft long and he loves it - a little too much!

Since he's had such an invasive surgery, I would be concerned about him moving around too much and pulling on any internal stitching. I would probably err on the side of caution and keep him from running around for several days at least. You can also give your vet a ring to ask what they would suggest.
So glad to hear he is recovering well
So pleased Dave is doing well. I would leave him in the dog crate for about a week, just in case.

Dave had his post op today. He's done a little interfering but nothing too serious. He's on a course of Baytril and has another appointment booked for Wednesday.

Part of his incision is looking a little gunky this evening, is this to be expected? He started a course of Baytril yesterday.

@tonibun *sigh* I will get him booked in tomorrow. I am so exhausted it's like Chloe and Barney all over again.

So not as sinister as I first thought it seems. It looks odd but definitely not leaking/seeping. The vet seemed to think that it could be part of the scar tissue forming? I don't know, it was a very rushed appointment but he wasn't too concerned and said the wounds not open which is the main thing. Unfortunately the vet I was booked into see was off sick and I got the impression the vet I saw wasn't a rabbit man. He was very old and very posh! He kept trying to flip Dave onto his back :evil:
Poor Dave, he's having a clean now.
