Winston's neutering tomorrow…take 2!

[ImoT]

Just thought I would post some photos of Winston for those who are interested;

Here you can see his wound a little bit;

He took his metacam straight from the syringe this morning, he just licked it all off as I was pushing the plunger part. It was really cute!
He's not a huge fan of his pen and has tried digging out (he can't get very far because it's all towels/carpet) I've tried to put as much enrichment as possible in his pen but it's difficult because I don't want him to get too overexcited and I can't put anything in that he can jump on!

Oh, Bless him. Looking at his op site you'd think he's just been spayed. Poor little devil. Here's to a quick recovery

So glad you're home and doing well Winston. You'll be back to normal in a few days.

Because one of his testicles hadn't descended they had to go in through the abdomen…just like a spay! So he has two incision sites bless him.

He just did a little binky though so I think he's okay!!

Oh you poor wee fellow, Winston!

My rabbits always seem to take their metacam straight from the syringe too, on the rare occasions they've needed it. It makes things so easy!

awww, he really is gorgeous!!! hope he has a speedy recovery xx

Thank you everyone. He seems to be doing really well and he's done lots of bunny flops so I like to think he is relaxed He's got a post op check tomorrow so fingers crossed that goes well! My mum has arrived. She is house sitting from Saturday to Sunday so I've gone through everything with her and I'm going to let her give him his metacam and food tomorrow whilst I supervise so she gets the hang of it! She's got 9 animals at home (4 dogs and 5 cats) but has never looked after a rabbit before so I'm a bit worried!

Winston's check went well. There is a slight red patch above his wound which the vet nurse said I could treat with aloe vera, however once I'm finally able to get some on him (which really stresses him out) he then licks it off which means he licks his wound. How important is the aloe Vera?

Glad the check up went well

Hope you are able to enjoy your weekend now x

I wouldn't worry overly about the aloe vera. only apply if the skin becomes taut and dry. approach I took.
