hi
i have both a young male and female rabbit they are in seperate cages at the min just getting used to one another. In the past i have always got my males neutered which he will be done when a bit older but is it necessary to also get my female done :?
sorry not sure if there was other advantges to get her done other than the obvious as she is so little wouldn't want to ut her through it unless necessary
 
does are uasuly spayed at 6 months peach has just had this done and she fine she just neded some extra pain relef
 
Hiya spaying is recommended by the RWA and other rabbit Organisations as it takes away the risk of Uterine Cancer in Does, and can help their behaviour making it easier to bond them :)
There can be some problems post spaying on ocassions, but in the majority of cases things go well :) . I suggest you do your research first (ie find a Vet who is experienced in doing rabbit spays, many are not) as this will enable you to make the best decision for you and your bunny.

Best wishes
 
i would get your doe done as there is such a high rick of cancer with not getting them spayed my doe was found to have cysts when they spayed her luckily it was nt cancerous . it also helps with behaviour .
 
re

thankyou that was really helpfull, think i will also get her spayed just for piece of mind. She is in for a wait she is only three months bless her.
 
hi

Most important thing is to find a vet who's experienced at spaying rabbits - it's a more delicate op than neutering a boy, or spaying a cat or dog - if there's a rescue near you that spays routinely their vet will be very experienced with bunnies. My girls are 8 months old now and mum must be 2, so I'm wondering what to do like you :)
 
I got my 2 does spayed last Thursday and I was TERRIFIED. They were quite dopey when they came home, and by the following day one of them, Buttercup, still hadn't eaten anything at all. However she did start to eat later that day, and now, 6 days on, they are both very well. Still grumpy ******* though!

Spaying does help with the grumpiness (so I'm told) and my vet also said it reduces the incidence of mammary tumours too.

I am glad I got my 2 done ... not sure I could go through the stress again though :?

Most rescue centres neuter rabbits before rehoming them. If I get any more rabbits, this is where I will go for one!
