The feeding stuff is probably Critical Care, one of the kinds smells a bit like licorice and some bunnies like it. Make sure you keep it refrigerated if you aren't using it right away.
With males, you should keep them caged for at least a week and don't let them run around too much for about 2 weeks. You want the incision to heal and that is usually done in about 10-14 days. Try keeping him in teh cage for about a week, then give supervised time out for an hour or so at a time for another week and after than he should be good to resume normal activities.
For a couple days, don't handle him unless you have to. Support his chest and bum and don't carry him around. Check the incision and put him back. As he heals more, you can handle him more if he lets you. Check it twice a day if you can.
Just make sure he is eating, drinking, peeing and pooping. It may take a day or 2 for him to be back to normal amounts. Keep the cage clean and don't use wood shavings or aything that could irritate the incision.
My poor bunny! Drove an hour in a blizzard to get him to his early appointment. He was allowed to eat right up until I put him in the truck. Surgery went very well, we were allowed to pick him up an hour and a half early as the roads were so bad. Brought him home and I was given a syringe full of "feeding" stuff apparently chock full of vitamins and what not to help keep his guts going I guess, smells like liquorice and he likes it. Put him in his cage and he went right to eating, drinking and now is giving himself a thorough cleaning, so far leaving his insicions alone. I have four syringes of pain killer to give him - .5 cc every 12 hours for 2 days then he has to go back for a check up in a week. Bad thing is that the vet said I had to keep him in his cage for several weeks, he will go stir crazy as he enjoys roaming the house and following us around. How do I safley pick him up without putting pressure on his insision? I try to support his bum but don't want to cause him any more pain.
