  Luna is getting spayed tomorrow morning. I know that post-op she will not want to eat right away, but at what point do I start to worry? (I have critical care on hand just in case)
  
  I was wondering if other members could tell me how long after surgery it was until your spayed bun finally ate something? At what frequency did they at least nibble on something? (every few hours? every 6 hours?)

  I bought Buttercup home at about 5pm and for the first 12 or so hours my Buttercup had a bit of a nibble on one or two pieces of hay, a nibble on a hay cookie and not much else. I slept next to her and early hours in the morning I woke up to her munching on a little romaine lettuce. Nothing really significant tho. Her poops were normal. After about 9am the next day, she was more interested in food, not hay or pellets but she had quite a lot of romaine lettuce and some dandelion I believe and sunflower petals. The day after that, her appetite was back to normal.
