My spayed rabbit is lethargic 2 days after surgery. Is this normal?

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | spayed

Hi. My 5 month old rabbit was spayed 2 days ago. She's been very quiet and lethargic today after initially perking up yesterday. She has eaten/ drank this morning and passed normal droppings and urine. She seemed to struggle after we put the rabbit "baby grow" back on that the vet gave us that she somehow managed to get off overnight. We were extremely careful though and her wound looked fine just a bit red. She was a bit stressed afterwards so we left her rest. Should we be worried?

Since Blossom is still eating and producing normal stool I would not worry just yet. She is probably very uncomfortable from her surgery. Continue to monitor her closely and if she stops eating then take her to your vet for a recheck.
