My rabbit, Cash slept most of yesterday, after being neutered. The second he got up and crawled into my lap, there was a massive amount of blood all over my lap randomly. All I felt was wet and warm, and I thought he pissed on me actually. Looked at his underside which was bleeding profusely from his genitals and just began to scream. I had no idea what was wrong.
I was able to get a hold of my vet, even after they closed for the day. Thank god! One of the sutures inside the scrotum that were put in had popped out of place and slit open the scrotum, causing him to bleed very heavily.
He is all fixed up, and should be alright. He is limited to his carry cage, so he can barely move, on the vets orders. We need to keep him still like this for a few days, so it doesn't happen again. I don't think I ever came that close to having a heart attack before. I stood in her office in tears. She said it was a serious enough bleed that if I had waited much longer he prolly would have died.

I asked her why something would happen like that, and she just stared at me, and told me it's a rare thing that happens, and there really isn't a reason on why it happens. He goes back tomorrow to be checked up on, and made sure he is alright.
My vet also did not charge me, since she knows I'm currently unemployed, and gave me a hug, promising that if he needed serious help, she would hold off the bills and let me make small payments every month without interest. I love his vet so much. She is a wonderful lady.
But now he is stuck in his tiny travel cage for days, and constantly doped up so he doesn't move around and make it worse. I just want to take him out and hold him close. I came so close to losing my baby.

This top picture was of him sleeping right before all hell broke loose.
