I got Cocoa neutered yesterday morning. This morning, I took his sisters in to be done. After I came back from dropping them off, I thought I better check on his sutures again to make sure he hadn't pulled them out or anything. And he has a huge purple-black swelling on one side, and his little genitals are also incredibly swollen and purple-black colored! I have had a lot of bunny neuters done and never seen anything like this.
His neuter was wierd in another way though too. When the vet sedated him and flipped him over, they had to shave him to even be able to find his testicles because they were so small. They appeared to be dropped and everything, but the vet said it looked almost like he had already been neutered, which I know for a fact he wasn't.
I am taking him back to the vet this afternoon when I pick the girls up after surgery so they can take a look and see what this is, but I can't get there until late this afternoon when my husband gets home. Could this just be something like a broken blood vessel in there, or should I be finding some way to get him there NOW?
