Not eating after spay, help please! U/D P83

[cpayne]

Yay she has certainly turned a corner and she is very cute. Hopefully you will get a good nights sleep tonight.x

Just handfed her some dandelions, broccoli and she had one bite of apple before spitting it out! :lol: Still eaten no pellets but she has had more hay as well I'd love a sleep but due to this damn thunder I'm wide awake and feeling absolutely rotten :evil: Ah well, small price to pay for my bunnies health! She's just grooming herself which she wasn't doing at first, so it shows she's feeling a little bit better

She is definitely heading in the right direction. Have you still got meds to give her?

We've got some Fibreplex left, about 3 doses, and after thats finished we wont need any more of that. We've also got some Zantac to keep giving her and I think we've got one other medicine to still give her, I may be wrong though! Also we're not feeding her throughout the night any more, providing she keeps eating normal food, because we hope she'll get hungry and start eating the pellets/hay that she's got out She's got a soft spot for baba food now though, she gets so excited whenever she tastes it! :lol:

Aww so glad to hear she's doing well.

Question:wave:

Because her tum is shaved, would she lose a lot of body heat? I'm wondering about putting her out this evening or tomorrow providing the weather picks up, just on the grass for a little, would she get really cold do you think? She's also got shaved ears bless her so I don't want her to be freezing!

 

[Jack's-Jane]

I would only put her out if it is dry and sunny. I would not leave her out for any length of time. Also, I would not want her to be leaping about so soon after her spay and then her being so ill.

 

[cpayne]

Doughnut leaps about outside so I wouldn't put her out yet, I'd wait until you've gone back to the vets a week later and she's had her stitches out and they tell you it's healing nicely. Maybe pick some grass for her to eat.

 

[JemimaH]

the vets have theoretically discharged her, we only need to go back if we are worried about her at all, she's also glued not stitched I just worry about her losing her winter coat what with Autumn approaching yet she is inside in a heated room (it's been absolutely freezing here!), even though she gets time out in the kitchen and that. I'll keep her in for a few more days then

 

[cpayne]

Doughnut was glued on the inside but stitched on the outside and she'd nibbled a few when they took them out but apparently she'd been a good girl. I think they said it takes another week to heal properly inside. She would have jumped around everywhere if I'd let her since she was on meds she couldn't feel anything!

So pleased she's OK, nice to have a happy ending.

Thankyou she ended up going outside for 45 minutes yesterday because she was just sitting in the corner of her cage looking bored, the sun came out and she lay basking until it was intime bless her she's still not eaten pellets yet but has been tucking into dandelions and some hay
