Our 5 year old male Harrell went under a general anaesthesia for spurs on his bottom molars. He had no infection or swelling -this was a preventative procedure based on the liklihood they would cut his tongue & cheek at some point soon. His appetite had been less in the weeks running up so the check-up confirmed it could be his teeth causing problems.
He had the procedure completed just before midday on Thursday. Thursday PM &Friday AM he had to have critical care as he has NO appitite at all. Not even a bit of apple - his favourite!
He is not such a space-cake now and is moving aruond, but not much, still very dopey.
How long does it take for them to resume their appetite? is this normal? I know anaesthesia will take different times to recover...he is about 5lbs in weight. We plan to give his pedialite & critical care at meal times.
Any other experiences of bunnies coming around after anaesthesia & appitite?
