thats both jason and jessica booked in to be neutered next tuesday. I am going to see the vet before hand to have a chat about the op and the aftercare. The lady on the phone said they do them routinely, and that the main worry is the anesthetic, with small animals it needs to be quite exact. I feel really nervous, but will feel alot better speaking to the vet beforehand i think.

Is £122 a normal price for 2 rabbit neutering? not that the cost matters!

It seems about right. Girls are usually around £60 - £70 and boys are usually a bit less. I'd happily pay that if they seem like a vet that knows what they are doing with rabbits :)

i dont mind the price, i was expecting around £100 ish and was hoping it would reflect normal pricing as another sign they know what they are doing! if it was really cheap or really dear i would be quite worried, if that makes sense!

They do seem to know what they are talking about, i am just terrible, i would be absolutely gutted if they didnt come through the spaying :( must think positive!
 
When my boys were neutered and girls were spayed I was really nervous and I found it helped to do the most preparation for them that I could.

So we did a lot of testing of treat foods, so that I knew which ones to tempt them with afterwards, same with hays, same with water as well (I gave them a bowl of regular water, and also a bowl of water laced with something and tested what 'something' worked for mine), and I also syringe trained them so that if they needed meds, I could easily do it and not stress them out too much.

Spaying is far more stressful on the girls than neutering is on the boys, so she will take longer to bounce back.

No matter what your vets say, demand pain meds for them both (some vets are reluctant to give it).

Fingers crossed it should all be fine :)
