Hi everyone,
My two darlings, Ham and Bea, were dropped off at the vet this morning to get neutered and spayed. Being the worried mother that I am I'd really love to get any advice possible about how to best care for them after their operations.
The receptionist asked if they were outdoor bunnies (yes they are) and advised us that we should bring them in just for tonight to keep them warm. We might just be able to get Bea's hutch through the door but Ham's needs completely dismantling to get through. We could alternatively set up the run indoors and set him up a sleeping area in his carrier?
Is there anything I need to keep an eye on particularly or be aware of? I read that it's a much nastier operation for female rabbits and that Beatrice will feel the effect of it most.
My boyfriend and I have to travel on Saturday afternoon and are not back until Sunday evening. We're going to ask his parents to check on them both days once we're gone. I'm wondering if we should keep them indoors from tonight until Sunday evening and then set them up again outdoors on Monday so they've had time to just chill and recover properly. At least we know then that they'll be in a warm and safe environment.
I'm sorry if there's a lot of general advice on this stuff out there but I'd really like to be told personally, it makes me feel reassured.
Thank you everyone for your help
