neauturing sam

I rescued my boy Sam a few weeks ago now, my plan was to get him neautred and introduce a female, I have been taxed on my wages an awful lot (stupid company) so don't have any spare cash (this has happened for the last 2 months) is there any way I can get some help towards the cost? He is lonely on his own :( if u hadn't been stung by the tax I would have had him done by now
 
I only know of PDSA but think you have to be on benefits to qualify. Have a look at their website.

In some areas the R.S.P.C.A. will offer neutering vouchers. Worth contacting them to ask ........
 
we wouldn't get anything off of the pdsa thank you will try rspca otherwise I'll get him done at the end of June just want him to have a friend asap and obviously can't rehome a female if he isn't neautred

Once he is neutered he will remain fertile for up to 6 weeks, so you will need to bear that in mind if you obtain an entire Doe. Also both Rabbits will need vaccinating against Myxomatosis and VHD :) (Vaccine costs about £30-£40 each depending on individual Vets prices)
 
if I get an intact female I have space to keep them apart :) Sam is up to date with all of his injections and as soon as the little lady joins us she will be having her injections and be neautred if needed

It is certainly a good idea to spay your female rabbit. From a health point of view, as she gets older there is a great risk of her developing uterine cancer. She will also be easier to bond with Sam. A rescue centre will have lots of spayed females for you and Sam to choose from. Sorry if you know all this already :wave:

If you *do* get an intact female, remember that Sam will still be fertile 3 weeks and possibly 4 weeks after his neuter, so don't put them together until a month has passed :thumb:
 
I do know but thank you for your advice :) I plan to have Sam done before I get her and hoping to get her from a rescue as would love Sam to meet her first :) Im thinking leave it 6 weeks after his op just to make sure he's fully healed and obviously if she isn't spayed will get her done for her health benefits then introduce them :)
