Hi everyone,this is my first post on the forum. I have 2 dwarf lops, frank and betty. I took them both to be neutered at the vets last thursday. The vet explained the risk of anesthetic to me but she didnt explain the risk of the wound opening. We have been monitering them carefully and were shocked yesterday to see that Bettys wound had completely opened up. It was sunday so we took her to the emergency vet (another vet) to have corrective surgery. We are facing a bill of £550. My question is, will the vet accept full or at least part responsibilty for this.? I love my buns and just wanted to do the right and responsible thing and have them neutered so they can live as a pair, but I never realised that such a routine operation could go so horribly and expensively wrong. I signed a disclaimer of course, so I suspect my vet won't help at all with the costs. I had a rabbit spayed once before and I remember the vet stitched internally and used glue and mesh externally, wheras this vet just stitched externally and betty must have pulled them out . thankfully, the emergency vet has just called and she is recovering well, I just feel upset at the unexpected cost.
