Thelmer should not need any pain medication and you don't want to handle her anymore than is absolutely necessary for a week or so. No picking up, leaping, jumping or rough play allowed She should be able to come out of her cage for gentle exercise by Sunday a.m. She'll probably be sleepy when she comes home and she may not eat much today...hard to say, each bunny is different. Monitor how much she eats, her appetite should return to normal tonorrow, and her poop and peeing should go back to normal too. Her gut needs to keep moving so if you feel she may not be eating enough by late tomorrow, I would do the worried mommy thing and call the vet to see what he thinks.

I just got Rottie's email about the anesthetic.....I am so sorry I wasn't able to answer it but it sounds like you have a vet who knows bunnies and that's what is important.

The anesthetic by the way is a gas, isofluorine, comes in a purple cylinder and the regulator should be set at 5 AND NOT CHANGED during the op. Bunnies are great at playing possum and a dose less than 5 can wake them up before the surgery is over.

It sounds like everything went well. Keep us informed of Thelmer's progress...we all are very fond of Rottie and Thelmer.
