Spay Vibes Please - U/D vet check up done

Florence is off to the vet for 8am for her spay. I think I'm more nervous than her! She's currently ripping up newspaper and playing with her ball!

I've got her packed lunch at the ready, but it's going to be a long day. Thank goodness I'm off work tomorrow and Friday.

Vibes for Florence, will be thinking of you both, please let us know how she is.

She's been dropped off, I was nearly in tears from the second I picked her up to when I got to work. Hubby was originally going to take her in but we overslept!

The nurse I saw was lovely, she said she'd been admiring Florences name! They are going to call me when she's in recovery. Hopefully she will be done this morning. My mobile is not going to leave my side all day!

She was trying to dig out of the pet carrier on the way there so I'm hoping they lether out or she won't be happy! I just need to try not to worry, I'm a natural worrier so that's not going to be easy!

Why did I think it was next week?

She will be absolutely fine. Try and keep busy so the time goes by quick.

Please let us know when you hear

I haven't heard from them yet. Getting a bit more scared now.

Poor baby.

It's still early hun. When thumper went in for her dental it was after 2 before they phoned.

And no news is good news

aww poor florence...i'm sure she's fine hun...Lots of hugs and kisses are in need when she gets home, and there just for you

I'm a worrier too, so understand how you feel. Keep yourself busy and you'll soon get the call telling you to come get her....sending hugs and love to you both

Massives vibes for Florence. They usually ring when they've come round a bit from the GA and assessed them. Healing hugs

I couldn't take it anymore and phoned them! She's currently in theatre but its going well apparently.

The nurse is going to call me when she's out.

I feel all tearful again now!! Its a good job I don't have children, they' have to wear an electronic tag!

Any more news?

No. I'm now starting to get seriously worried as it's three hours after they said she was being done and the nurse would call me when she was in recovery.

I'm just hoping it's because they are waiting for her to eat, poop etc before they call to say I can collect her. But it's not looking good

Don't panic. All animals (and humans for that matter) react differently to GA. She's probably just being a sleepy head.

If it were me, I'd phone them again as its getting late in the day and you will need to know when to pick her up. But that's just me

Edit: The nurse has probably forgotten to phone you.

Don't panic. I am sure if something had gone wrong they would have phoned before now. They will be waiting for her to be properly on her feet. When Bruce had his teeth done once they sent him home still woozy as they knew I was experienced enough to cope with it. Even so it was quite alarming to see him wobbling around like a drunk. I wouldn't expect to be picking her up before 5.

I agree Cheryl, it is very scary!

Thumper's back legs didn't work at all when I got her back last time

They called! Just as I finished getting her cage ready.

She came around fine, scoffed her lunch and I'm picking her up at 6pm

Thanks for everything guys, I'll let you know how she is when she's home

Sometimes they just get caught up with other cases and forget or lose track of time.

Fingers crossed for the lovely Florence. Let us know how she is getting on. xx

You posted at the same time as me!

So glad that she is fine. Give her lots of soft noserubs from us. xx

Yayyy well done Florence

That's good news.

"she's very awake" said the vet nurse, that's the understatement of the week! She's all over the place and clawing and biting at the towel I've given her! She's actually moved it out of the way to sit on the newspaper so think that might have to come out. The nurse made me laugh though as she said its normally boy rabbits who play with their stitches, Florence hadn't taken any notice of them!

They did say she didn't eat quite as much as they would have liked, but she's had a bit of hay since she's been home and has done quite a few poos so I'm not too worried at the moment. TBH if she didn't have those sticky wet eyes they come home with you wouldn't know she'd had anything done.

She's got a load of different food in there so she can chose what she wants. They are going to call me tomorrow to see how she is, and she's back in on Friday evening.

Im so glad she has done so well bless her. Try not to let her jump or move around to much to keep her stitches nice and safe hun x

I've got her eating!

She's got, pellets, spring greens, parsley, celery, expensive hay and cheap hay. Guess what she's tucking into...yup the cheap hay Out of all the stuff I was expecting her to go for, that wasn't it. My money was on the parsley.

She also managed to tuck herself into the towel which was really sweet. If she does it again I'll get a photo for you.

Do you think I should take out her toys? I'm going to not let her out for a few days so her stiches are safe, so I don't want her to get bored but also don't want her to harm herself

I'm so glad the lovely Flo is ok

How do you tell the difference between washing and attacking stitches?!

I feel mean telling her off, especially when I don't know if that's what she is doing.

I've been given a kiss though so thinks she's forgiven me.
