Spaying in Big Buns

Is there anything different about spaying a large bun?
Barley my French Lop X is about 6 months old - so I'm getting her done in next couple of weeks. She's big - but doesn't have all the extra fat that a lot of French Lops have (yet??)

Her boyfriend is a 5.8kg NZ White, so looking forward to carrying THOSE two to the vets!! :shock: :lol:

I've been told from people who got their giants done that they were charged the price of getting a cat done! Not sure if it's true though.

I got charged slightly more for Zeus' neuter than Cosmos' but as my vet charged £80 odd quid for rabbits to be done in thre first place the bit extra wasn't that noticeable :roll: !

I can't comment on larger females but both Zeus and Cosmos reacted in a similar way after the op - they didn't notice it had happened!
