Spaying and vaccinations

I am thinking of getting Bramble a partner. What age can you get a doe spayed, and vaccinated please?
 
It will vary vet to vet for spaying, some say a certain age, some say a certain weight, othes judge individually.

For vaccinations, I believe it depends on the vaccine, but mostly from ages too young to be separated from mum, if you're looking at a baby.
 
Vaccinated is I think anytime after 6-8 weeks for Myxi and 10 weeks for VHD. Spay is around 6 months, but some vets will do it earlier depending on how big she is. :wave:
 
I thought myxi was 6 weeks+ and VHD 8 weeks+ ?

That's what I was told at my vet anyway.

Maybe then... either way it's quite young! You'll be best off talking to your vet to find out what they do

Might just depend on the vet. My vets are not rabbit specialists or anything but they've always done a pretty good job with the rabbits and the degus so far. They do have a small animal vet there though so that's a plus.
 
Thank you. The girlie I am looking at was born in Feb I think, so she would be fine for vaccinations.
 
Depending where she is coming from, it would be preferably for her to arrive vaccinated to protect Bramble, so that might be worth discussing with whoever currently has her. Also, remember to quarantine any bunny coming into your home (the only time it may be ok not to would be a reputable rescue and the rabbit come with a vet/health check).
 
I would look to get her vaccinated straight away. Then spayed as soon as I can. She would be kept in a seperate hutch until spayed and bonded.
