.... and I called the Doc to make an appointment to sterilize Bounty.
Here are rules to follow:
- not be fasted rabbits before surgery, it is useless, if not risk a transit stop which can be fatal even if
- No hospitalization is scheduled for the day, provide hay in sufficient quantity and dinner (vegetables, grain, feed the rabbits preferred)
- for his return, replace the litter with a towel to avoid the litter is in contact with the scar (the only thing to do if the rabbit is awake) but if
- underwent anesthesia fixed (which will happen in my Bubu), there is often a bit "sleepy" still on the first night and did not always have the strength or courage to jump into this case, it is necessary to remove anything that could oblige as cat box, house ...
- there should be enough to force-feed: boiled enough liquid made with granules rabbit, small pot with carrot and syringe (no needle of course) 1-ml or 2-3 ml if the rabbit would not recover to eat again for itself rather quickly, ie immediately after intervention. everything is explained here for those interested
- can also make him a hot towel or a small water bottle covered with a cloth, it can be useful in winter, but given the current temperatures should Bounty not need
- if awake enough, let it out and frolic, the exercise will be good for the resumption of transit
- pinpinette monitor that does not lick the wound and / or does not withdraw his son (the vet will do it ten days after surgery if they are not absorbable)
The majority of this type of operation is going well and smoothly, but I can not help but feel a little stress. It will much better Tuesday night when she returns home.
