This question is about neuter surgery on a female, i.e. spay surgery. If you're looking for information about a neuter surgery on a male rabbit, see the link below for information.
If your rabbit is having surgery, you should ask your vet for after-care instructions. There are general instructions for how to care for a rabbit after spay surgery (see below), but only your vet knows how your rabbit's surgery went, and sometimes individual cases need to be treated differently.
According to the House Rabbit Society (see related links below):
You should provide your rabbit with pain meds after she has a spay surgery. These medicines are available from your vet. Some people also give their rabbits probiotics (like acidophilus) after surgery to encourage healthy digestion -- that's something to talk to your vet about.
Inspect the incision morning and evening and if you notice any sign of infection, take the rabbit to the vet's immediately -- don't wait for it to clear up on it's own because this can lead to very serious illness.
Keep the environment around the rabbit quiet and calm: no barking dogs, no screaming children. Do everything you can to minimize stress. Don't do anything that might encourage the rabbit to run or play very energetically: the incision needs calm time to heal properly.
Most female rabbits want to be left alone after surgery and aren't interested in eating. Make sure she has access to food (hay, pellets, fresh leafy greens), but let your rabbit be alone if she wants to be alone. Keep track of her eating, though, because if she goes without food for 12 hours or more that means she's in G.I. stasis and needs to see the vet immediately.
Some female rabbits pull out their stitches. If you notice this happening, or notice the incision is open when you inspect it, go to the vet and then, once she's stitched up again, put on a "belly band" (like a dish towel wrapped around her middle and bound with elastic bandage).
