Just had my lop spayed and her playmate has turned really agressive towards her.

Question
We have a year old bunny called honey, we introduced her to another female baby bunny about 6 months ago and they had growm inseperable, I have just had honey spayed to stop her biting and spraying, and when I let the two see eachother after 24 hours of the op, sooty attacked her visiously!  Now im so worried that they wont be able to be together again, please advise!!!  With Kind Regards, Anita Cotton.

Answer
Dear Anita,

We always recommend that bonded pairs travel together to the vet, no matter what, for exactly this reason.  Rabbits can become unbonded very quickly, especially if one comes home smelling strange after a visit to the vet and having had surgery!

For tips on how to safely re-bond your bunnies, I recommend the article here:

I hope those will help restore peace to your household.
