My female who was discovered to in fact be a HE last night is booked in to be neutered next wednesday. I have never had a bun neutered before so wondered if you could answer a few questions?
The vets have said to bring him in at 9am with some food.
The reading i have done says to plan to keep him indoors for the night following the op because he'll struggle to maintain body temp. He is an outdoor bun. Should I keep him in or will this stress him too much? The alternative is to have him in the bunny shed in a dog crate so he'll have the company of the girls but be seperated from them.
What would be the best bedding for post op? I was thinking either fleece or vet bed?
I'm guessing he'll be quiet following the op, but other than getting him eating and monitoring 'output' what else do i need to watch out for?
Finally, how long will he need to remain seperated from the girls? Obviously, until last night he was with another female ( who hopefully isn't pregnant) so has never been on his own before...... Is the best option to keep him in large dog crate in bunny shed at night with daily access to a temporary run?
Sorry for so many questions.
