So Layla was spayed yesterday morning and they kept her on observation for some time beforehand, as well as about 30 hours post-surgery before I was told I could pick her up.
She doesn't seem to be exactly herself, and I don't blame her since she's still on pain meds for another 2 days, but did your bunnies act different right away after being spayed?
She's more subdued. She's eating hay and pellets and veggies fine, pooping and peeing, and hops around some in her cage, but she's not bouncing off the walls or going crazy in the small cage (yet) like I expect her to.
I saw her incision site when she flopped over earlier and it looks pink/puffy but that's obviously normal the day after surgery and it doesn't seem to be causing her pain or anything. She's also not bothering it any and is still grooming herself like normal.
Another question I have is how long to wait to allow her to be with Mumford and to allow jumping... They said at least 10-14 days if it's healing fine, but I just wanted to check.
Also, I'll be moving in 5-6 weeks, which is why I wanted to get the surgery done ASAP while it's with a quality exotics vet I trust and cheaper than where I'm moving to... Some places say not to stress them for like 2 months after the surgery, but in this case it can't be helped. Considering she re-bonds to Mumford just fine after healed up, shouldn't she be able to handle the move?
I'm working on their moving transport tub... possibly done with it soon, but can't create the lid until she's living with Mumford again since I need her current cage to disassemble for parts!
Sorry to write a novel, just looking to see if others noticed immediate changes post-spay!
