    The vet is wrong. It takes awhile for a rabbit to stop reacting to it's hormones and it even can still be fertile for a few days after neutering so your buck need to be quiet and alone for a few days after his operation. And then you need to slowly bond your rabbits back together. Once you separate rabbits, they seem to lose the memory of being friend, especially if they don't smell the same, as your rabbit will smell different since it's vet visit and operation.

    First you will have to try some 'dates', letting them play together with lots of supervision, and then if they get alone, leave them longer and longer. You can also try taking them for a ride in something like a cat carrier in the car. Long rides seem to help rabbits to lean on each other for support and they often bond over one ride :)

    Keep them separated for awhile, then put them in neutral cage. What I mean by this is the cage needs to be free of urine or any territorial markings so clean the cage to classify the cage (in bunny world) as neutral territory. Then put them in the cage at the same time.
    That's one option or you can wait until they establish some sort of pecking order then they might settle down. If they start to bite each other or chase each other aggressively, you might have to keep them separated.
