Neutralization for Sebastian

[paul2641]

My male lionhead Sebastian is booked in for his neuter next week on Tuesday. I'm kinda excited in one sense and worried in another, Anything I should know before he is neutralized! I'm getting Suki done in 4 more weeks, I have the money but the vet advised I wait.

I hope these videos will help, Skyler sacrificed his manhood to make these videos (not that he had any choice in the matter).

I was talking to Sabine and she thinks it's for the best and I have the money so I said why not. I'm also getting Suki spayed in a few weeks.

Ya but are you still going to be breeding?

That is great. Make sure you have some baby gas medicine (active ingredient simethicone) on hand, a rice sock (sock filled with dry rice that you can heat in the microwave), and syringes for water or simethicone. He should eat until 1-2 hours before the surgery, and you should get pain medicine to take home for him. After he comes out of anesthesia, keep an eye on him until he's eating, drinking, pooing, and peeing. This should be within a few hours. You can give him the rice sock for comfort, and/or ice the area 2-3 times a day 10 min at a time with ice wrapped in a towel. When you do this, check the incisions to see that they're normal, not red or puffy, and he's not bugging with them. You'll want to keep him inside if you can for a while before and after the neuter.

As far as I know the vet doesn't think I will need pain medication but I will ask him for it. I am getting excited about getting the neuter done.

you willneed some to help him feel like eatting

My bf's bunny Benjamin got pain meds and although it isn't always routine for males to get pain meds (neuters aren't as invasive as spays), I think it might be good to ask for some. It can be a real pain to go back and get medicine after the fact if he's not doing well.

My vet doesn't prescribe pain meds either and I have trusted her because so far she has always made the right decisions about my rabbits. A neuter is far less invasive than a spay and Sebastian should fly through it with or without pain meds. But ask your vet about them by all means.

I'm hoping he will just fly through it, I really should get some snaps of him before he goes under the knife again.

Yup we just got home now, The vet did a really good job Sebastian is looking really good. I'm so happy it is over with. I'm getting Suki done in a few weeks.

great

just watch his pooping peeing, eating

and maybe every day take a look at his testicular sacs as they be swollen for a few day and occasionally ( but not often) get infected

Yup checked on him last night, the vet used A numbing gel on him, And he stitched him up pretty good, He was eating, pooing and drinking immediately. He is getting the stitches out in 2 weeks.
