Hi I need to get some more opinions.
We have 3 bunnies living togther at the moment 2 neutered males and an un-spayed female. The reason she is un-spayed is because we bought her with her little sister, took them to be spayed Januray this year and unfortunetly when the vet put the first little girl under the anasthetic she died. As this was rare and the bunnies were blantantly related he didn't do the other little girl for fear the problem was genetic.
Now I know it is better for health reasons to have her spayed but my wife and I decided that we didn't want to risk her as if I took her in to be done now and she died I'd never forgive myself.
Thing is I keep wondering recently whether this was the right decision or not? She seems happy - apart from a tad of nesting every now again. Is it worth the risk? Also are there any different ways of spaying so she didn't have to go under the gas?
If anyone has any suggestions then cheers.
