What is the earliest we can get a baby bun spayed some rabbit wesbites say 14 weeks but these forums tend to say 6 months? does it depend on the individual rabbit and can the vet determine an age on when she is ready?

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.

My vet wont spay females until they are 5 months, this reduces the risk of complications including withstanding the anaesthetic.
A few people i have spoken to also say about 5-6 months is right for spaying a female.

Mine won't spay until at least 5 months, preferably 6 and when they are over 1kg (unless dwarf breed).
The younger and smaller they are then the more difficult the surgery as the uterus and tubes tend to be really small and tear easily, so the anaesthetic can be longer then it would be in a larger rabbit.
Wach vet could be different though, personally I wouldn't want to do it younger than 5 months as I have seen how much more difficult the smaller ops are.

For a female most vets wont spay until theyre 5-6 months old and a good size, as the operation is huge for a doe. To be honest I would be wary of a vet that will spay earlier than that :wave:
