I recently got my dutch rabbit, Olivia, spayed. And I posted about her aggressive behavior a few days after the spay in the health and wellness forum. Well, it has been about 2 weeks or so and she has completely changed. Prior to her spay, she was sweet, loved attention, loved getting pets, and was just generally sociable. Now she has become a complete nightmare. I was holding her today and she bit me. I was giving her some greens earlier in her bowl and she bit me. It wasn't a little bite either. She bit me really hard.
Now let me say that her stitches are completely healed, she gets a lot of time out to exercise, and she seems generally happy. She binkies a lot when out and has fun running around. I give her plenty of time out (at least 2 hours each day) and she has a nice play pen to run around in. I also give her plenty of toys and things to occupy her in her cage.
I don't know what to do. I'm sincerely regretting getting her spayed because it has changed her behavior entirely. It's like she is a completely different rabbit. I got her spayed for her health and general well-being and I guess I have sacrificed her personality for it. She is no longer sweet and affectionate. Oh and she grunts a lot now too, which I NEVER heard her do prior to the spay.
Any ideas?
