We have scheduled our 4 month old MALE mini-lop for NEUTERING. This clinic vet cares for rabbits but they are certainly not specialists or "exotic" pet-vets. I asked about post-surgery pain meds and was told that they do NOT do pain meds unless the owner specifically asks. Made me start to think, worry about their humanitarian ethic turning out a neutered rabbit without some pain control. Of course they suggested that pain meds reduce the rabbit's urge to eat and consequently can start GI stasis (yea, I get the concept), but it seems there should be some compromise.
The vet rabbit specialist we usually use in Virginia is 1000 miles from where we are and we need to do something SOON. He is frantic and it is "just time."
Please advise on this idea of "no pain meds" after a male neutering. ???
Poor Benjamin !
