    Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

    We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.

    Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Netuering

Up to what age can a buck be nutered? Is it best to get it done even if you are not going to put another bunny with him?
 
If you don't get them done they can spray (urine) and will be sexually frustrated. What age depends on the vet, My vet will castrate as soon as the testicles have decended, but some vets go on age or weight. My Toby was done at 14 weeks. :D
 
Males can be neutered up to any age as long as your vet is happy neutering it.

Even lone rabbits should be neutered as this will help stop any spraying which can happen and reduce any territorial behviour or aggression. Unneutered males are also at risk of developing testicular cancer, this is avoided if they are neutered.
