Neutering, overnight stays?

Hi

Bit the bullet and Amos is booked in for neutering on Tuesday. Reading through the boards everyone else seems to pick up there Bunny that evening where as my vet has said that he will stay in overnight? Its also £75 which seems a bit steep, but happy to do whatever is best for him.
 
My bunny had to stay overnight after her spay, the vet wanted to make sure she was eating and to give her a painkiller the following day. It does vary, on reflection I'm glad she did as they did all the difficult nursing i was dreading most!
 
My girls were £50 each but they came home that night so I suppose £75 inc over night stay isnt so bad
 
Hi, just had my latest bun done and it cost me £37.40. He didn't have to stay in, but he was eating well after the op. Bunnies can be awkward with general anaesthetic as they need their digestive tract to work continuously and the anaesthetic interupts that. Our vets said they would keep them in if they were concerned about them eating post op, but I think some do it as a matter of course because of this issue. All depends on the vets really.

I have had 3 bunnies done now (2 boys and a girl) and they all came through absolutely fine.
 
Any sugestions for good rabbit vets in the Newcastle/Coast area then, does seem that this vet is quite a bit more expensive.
 
My boy, Casey, was taken in the morning and finished by 2pm. I collected him at 5pm. I thought he would really struggle getting over the anaesthetic (like my piggies did), but he was bouncing round the house in no time at all. Even when i collected him he was full of beans. This cost £40.
The best piece of advice i recieved was to let your rabbit eat as much of the dried pellet food as they want the day/morning before the op.
 
Hi Claire

Just tried that, gave 2 accreddited options within reasonable travelling distance. One was the practice I am using, I called the other and the quote was £172! think I will stick to the first.
