Just adopted this rabbit yesterday from the shelter. She was spayed earlier Monday morning. She came home around 6pm Monday night.
-Is drinking a small amount of water.
-Has eaten a piece of grass, a piece of timothy hay, and about 5 pellets worth of slurried water.
-Has peed once, but seems to be dribbling and standing in it. When I pick her up, she is damp and pee-smelling on her tummy and her fur is stained (scent glands smell awful, too, but I think whoever owned her before probably never cleaned them).
-NO POOP. Not a single one in almost 22 hours. FREAKING OUT.
-She is definitely more alert than yesterday as seems like she is starting to feel better, but I am terrified about the lack of poop. Never had a doe spayed before and I don't know exactly how the shelter went about it, which is appalling to me, and no one outside the vet team at the shelter knows, and I can not reach a single person in the vet team.
-I am worried her gut is slowed/stopped. But she did just have an invasive procedure. So am I freaking out prematurely or should I be on the line with my emergency vet?
