Advice on injections and nuetering

Does anyone know prices for the cost of injections and nuetering. I have two male Rabbits, one is about 4 months the other is 11 weeks old. I also have a female rabbit 12 weeks old. I also am not sure about guineas if they need injections or not, there is three of them altogether - girls.

I am awaiting some money and would like all the animals done together including my dog which needs spaying. I would be grateful for any advice please. I am in the Manchester area and the only place I was not willing to take them was pets at home as their charges were beyond a joke.
 
:wave: Hi I had my 2 male rabbits done 2 weeks ago, they are both 4 months old, it was £45 per rabbit, i also had them vaccinated against myxomatosis that was £20 per rabbit.:D
 
Hi!

You may be able to find a good vet using this link: http://www.rcvs.org.uk/Templates/system/FAVSearch.asp?NodeID=89660

It cost me about £40 to get my male neutered and about £60 to have my female spayed. Injections vary between about £17-£28, you generally have the mxyi one first (every 6 months) and the VHD second (once a year).

Just a question, are you male rabbits and female rabbit together? If so, separate now or you'll end up with babies! Also, rabbits and guinea pigs should not be housed together in the same hutch/enclosure but are fine side by side.

Guinea pigs don't need any injections, so that's one less thing to worry about!

The older male is on his own, but the two babies are together. The youngest have bonded and the older cannot go in with them as he tries to mount the other boy. As yet the other boy does not bother with my little girl but I am sure that I only have about two weeks before I need to seperate them, this is why I am not sure when he should be done (can he be done about 12 weeks) as they are bonded I dont want them seperated for long.
 
i paid £45 for coco,some vets will do deals i was also offered a reduced rate of microchipping if id wanted it,
 
:D Thanks for giving me the website for the vets sites (FRISKYCLOVER), I saved in my favourites. One is just around the corner from me and I have just e-mailed them so hopefully will get an answer A.S.A.P.

I had Inky neutered at 12 weeks, so providing his bits are in view as it were, he should be fine!
 
think it depends on hte vet on when they will neuter most will do if at a certain weight. males neutere = 30-70 pounds and female spey is 45-100 pounds in rabbits not sure about g.pigs.... injections are between12-20 pounds...rabbits need 3 a year.... myxi is every 6 months and vhd every year.... the gap between injections is a minimum of 2 weeks most reccomend 3 weeks... the myxi should be done first as its more prevalent. also with the myxi injection it should be done in 2 parts...10% should be done into the skin layer...some vets do this by main injection scruff of neck pull out but not all the way...then into skin there...some vets do part in scruff and part in ear.
