Hello,
I just had my two female rabbits spayed today. They have been home for 4 or 5 hours now, but they look like they are in pain to me. I've never had a rabbit fixed before so I'm not sure what is normal, but they have been sitting in the same places basically since I brought them home. The vet didn't give me any pain meds for them, I asked about it but the lady at the desk said they wouldn't need it. I have some metacam left over from a previous trip to the vet, should I give them a little bit or should I just let them be? I've never really been one to self medicate my pets, but to me it seems insane to cut something open, sew it back up, and then not give anything for the pain...but like I said, I've never done this before so I don't really know what to do... My main concern is that one of them hasn't eaten anything since she has been home and the other will only eat lettuce. I also have some critical care food, I could try giving them that first?:?Please Help!
