Spay question

[BACI]

Delilah is scheduled for her spay on Tuesday. Iam not sure if she is psychic or what but I scheduled it a week or soago and am unable to pick her up at all now. She is evil.....scratches,squirms, fights etc
She has never liked being picked up but I was able to get her to sit ina box, like her litter box to lift her out of the cage. Now - no dice.My concern is that in other threads people said they had to pick themup and turn the rabbit over daily to check the incision, should I startwrapping her in a towel to pick her up now to get her ready for this.Not actually turning her over, but picking her up? Will this make itworse? I don't want to scare her more. It just has gotten so much worselately.

I always just lured them to stand up withtreats. It's much easier and less stressful on thebun. I only pick them up to look at it if I think I see aproblem.
