So I recently got Olivia spayed. She is a dutch, about 8 months old now. Prior to her spaying, she was really sweet, friendly, outgoing, and never grunted or lunged. She wasn't aggressive at all.
But, 5 days after her spaying and she is none of these things. She didn't like me trying to pet her, she was grunting (first time I have ever heard her do that), she lunged at me while I was trying to feed her, and she bit me (twice).
Now I know what you may say. Oh, give her time and you shouldn't be feeding her while she's in her cage. But, let me reiterate that she has never done this stuff before. She wasn't even like this right after her surgery.
She is eating normally, the stitches look good, she is drinking water, and seems very active and alert. It has been 5 days since her surgery too. Should I be concerned about her behavior? My other bun (Lily) who I got spayed a couple months ago was completely changed around after her surgery, but in a good way. She had been aggressive previously as the hormones set in and a couple days after, she was normal and sweet again.
I want to think that I made a good decision getting Olivia spayed. I did it for her health and well-being. I'm hoping that this behavior isn't permanent. I love her dearly, and I miss her sweet affectionate side.
