Hi everyone,
I just got Dimi spayed a week ago Friday. I paid $$$ to have it done by a rabbit expert. The surgery went smoothly, she had pain meds for 3 days, and her incision looks great! Physically, she appears to be doing great.
The problem is, after she started getting better and getting more energy, she has become aggressive and destructive. She trashes her cage several times a day, tossing her litter everywhere, dumping her water (she prefers bowls to bottle), digging excessively at the floor of her cage. When we reach in, she ATTACKS us! She will not let me pick her up, fights it like crazy. Runs to the corner and gives me the evil eye.
You have to understand that she was the most friendly, sweet, loving, docile rabbit ever, that is, up until she was spayed. She is ~9-10mos old, and is a house rabbit residing in a super-huge dog kennel type of thing.... her same home for the last several months that we've had her.
I called the vet, and she mentioned that she may be having a "hormone storm", and to give it a few weeks.
Has anyone experienced this, and will she return to her former self? I will REALLY regret this spay if this is her permanent personality. She is like a totally different rabbit anic:
