        Excited to have found this group!
        I got the ok from DH to get a rabbit for out girls. Went to the humane society and it was slim pickings…….. then I saw them. A brother sister bonded pair of lion heads. They are around 1. The male was neutered and they put both of them on a medical hold to spay the female.
        Now I’m a little anxious to get them. They sedated the make to make sure he was neutered and looking at him they confirmed he was. They sedated and did surgery on the female but when they opened her up saw suture remnants and couldn’t find and reproductive tissue….. so she was already spayed!
        Now they aren’t eating the best and had critical care (not sure what that is….) So now waiting to hear back if I get to pick them up tonight or not.

          Critical Care is a powder that is very dense in nutrients. It’s mixed with water to make a paste (like pancake batter), and fed to rabbits via syringe feeding. It’s used for rabbits after procedures or when they need nutrients and cannot eat solid foods. I gave Wick Critical Care (CC) when he was underweight and needed to gain weight, and he was given CC after his neutering to get some nutrients in him. I’d actually recommend getting yourself a Critical Care small bag of your own just in case something comes up in the future and you need to feed your rabbits it.

          Post anesthesia can be a stressful time for rabbits, so read among these forums and other reliable sources online to find the best after-care instructions. Generally, if your rabbits want to be left alone, leave them alone as to not stress them out. If you think they are comforted by having you around but not necessarily having you touch them, sit by them for a bit. It’s vital to monitor if they are eating, pooping, peeing, and drinking water when they come home. If not, speak with your vet. You should also ask your vet about what to look for and his/her recommendations when you pick them up.

            I called today to check in. Sounds like they are eating hay and picking at pellets. So should be good to go to pick them up tomorrow. They are still at the humane society so I will ask what they recommend.

              Welcome !

              I hope the recovery from quasi-surgery is swift and you can bring them home soon. We love pictures, so don’t hesitate with sharing loads of your new furbabies.
