Owning a rabbit canbe quite a fun task. But with a rabbit, comes
its health and reproductive issues. Any such issues demandingany operational
procedures can be quite troublesome for you and your rabbit. If your rabbit
needs an operational procedure due to some health condition or you just want to
stop more rabbit babies from coming by desexing
the rabbit, you should definitely read this
article first as we will be telling you some ways to keep your rabbit’s
recovery going smooth.
1. 1. Make The Recovery Painless
To assure a
speedy and uneventful recovery of your rabbit, you would have to keep the pain
of your rabbit minimized. For doing that you can ask your doctor for follow up management
therapy at home that can easily be carried out by you.

2. Provide Constant Monitoring
And Care
With little monitoring you can help
your rabbit heal faster. Just follow these tips and your rabbit will be okay in
no time. Keep your rabbit warm after surgery and keep its surrounding quiet.
Covering it with a light fluffy blanket would do the trick! Check the sutures
on regular basis and call your vet if you see any signs of excessive bleeding
or redness or pus around the sutures.

3. Isolate It While Its
Healing
Your rabbit after surgery can feel
irritated and the best way to avoid trouble is to keep it away from other
rabbits and pets. Specifically if you have a rabbit that has recently been desexed, you might want to keep it away from
other rabbits for at least two week as rabbits tends to get angry at other male
rabbits after this process and still have the ability to impregnate female
rabbits.

4. Make Sure Its Eating
If your rabbit is not eating after an
operational procedure just don’t sweat its normal for rabbits to do so! Put
some extra efforts and start giving your fur babies its favourite treats and
keep it hydrated. Don’t force feed you rabbit. If your rabbit is too weak to
eat or if it’s prescribed by the vet try to feed it using plastic drop off with
narrow tip and feed your rabbit through it but sideways.

5. Keep Your Bond Strong
After surgery you need to give some
lone healing time to your rabbit but try to balance it normally with feeding
and bonding times in between. You shouldn’t try to separate a bonded pair if
you have one until and unless they play too roughly. If you absolutely have to
go through the heartache of separating them just make sure they can at least
see and smell each other.
Bringing any
pet to your life is quite easy but it brings an extra responsibility specially
a rabbit which acquire quite a lot of attention and are more likely to get into
troubles. Make sure you have done your homework properly before getting any pet
and get proper help in case of any issues.
