Sasha, my mini rex, was neutered about a week ago now, Aug 17. I'm really frustrated, because this is the second time i've had a sick bunny after a neuter, except the first time he died and it was the most traumatizing experience.
What I want to know is if its common for males to get sick after being neutered, and how soon.
The story is I took Sasha to the same vet I took Kale, who died within a month of being neutered. I took him to the emergency hospital after I realized he was extremely sick, they told me it is the snuffles, and said it would be better to leave him with them but because I could not afford 750 dollars they gave me baytrall? antibiotic, and send me on my way home, with a food I could mix and force feed him and a bunch of needles so I could inject him twice a day. After leaving the emergency hospital, he died about 6 hours later. That was really hard!
Sasha, who is a baby of Kale, just got neutered and not even a week later he is showing much the same symptoms as Kale. He has stopped eating, has no energy, and his eye was watering. He is being given antibiotics that I never gave to kale (they haven't expired and I kept in the fridge), I have been forcing him to eat even a little, and I have been leaving him in the bathroom with the shower on as hot as possible for 2 days now. He looked a little better this morning but I think his breathing is getting worse, like Kales did.
I can't afford to go through this again, both financially and emotionally, because I honestly have such a distaste and hatred for vets and now that this is the second bunny to get sick after a neuter, plus all my other terrible experiences, I feel the vet I took him to had something to do with it. I've also read bunnys can be finnicky, but I'm not sure if this is that common! I honestly don't think i'll ever fix another bunny again after this.
Any advice would be wonderful! I am at work right now, but when I get home, I am going to look at his condition, and decide if it would be smarter for me to put him to sleep to avoid the pain, because it was really really hard with Kale, and I didn't put him to sleep but had to watch him die in so much pain
it was terrible! I dont' want that again. Please any advice would be nice!
