I was at the vet today with Malibu, I didnt see the vet we usually see because he wasnt there.
Anyway, I asked about having Scarlett and Malibu spayed and the vet told me that the best thing to do is to bring them back in about 3 or 4 months to get them done.
He said that I should wait until its warmer and also they are switching to different anesthetics in a few months, which will make the operation easier and less stressfull for the bunnies. Because it is odourless or something and the smell of the one they use now stresses them out. I wish I had remembered the names he was saying but I cant!
Does this sound right? Sorry if this is a really silly question
I also told him I was planning on bonding Trip and Scarlett after she had been spayed then finding a boyfriend for Malibu
And he said that because it is a risky operation and I should bond them both first and bring them in with their boyfriends. This is what my other vet had already told me to do with malibu to try and calm her down.
I said wont it be harder to bond unspayed females (with neutered boys) and he said it shouldnt be any more difficult than if they were spayed.
I dont know what to do now. I want to know if the thing about the anesthetic is true because I am already very nervous about getting them spayed and I have been putting it off for a while with Malibu because I didnt want her to get too stressed and not cope with it :?
And Im not sure if I should go ahead and bond Trip and Scarlett (they will have a new hutch and run) then have her spayed. And bond Malibu with a neutered boy and then get her spayed.
Im am really confused. Has anyone else been given this advice from a vet, to bond before the female is spayed?
