Cost of neutering a female rabbit and micro chip

[Kim_w]

Just wondered if the price varies a lot? There is a vets for pets close to us which I am keen to go to as when I had my last rabbit he was treated by a very rabbit savvy vet (was 5 years ago so obv she might not be there)

I think that at our vets spaying is about £65 and that is vets 4 pets. xxx

Thats good I was thinking around the 100 mark! The rescue home said we could send them nack for neutering or they would give us £50 towards each rabbit but we dont want to take it so £65 sounds like a better price to what I thought!

 

[Pip&Milo]

I could be wrong! I know that neutering was cheaper but it definitely wasn't £100!
I love my vet at vets4pets too. I think as long as the vet themselves are good it doesnt matter so much that it is a chain x

It's £132.40 for a female at our vets - which includes "pre-operative health check, hospitalisation, anaesthetic, intra-operative multimodal analgesia, surgery and two post-operative check-ups." If you microchip at the same time as neutering, microchipping costs £15.50.

However at another vet in our area, it's £80.38 and £10 for microchip.

So yes, the prices do vary but it is important to go with a vet you're comfortable with and trust. And also look at what the price includes - will you have to pay extra for check ups?

Hope this helped you out a bit

I think it's over £100 at my vet for spay.
The most important thing, though, is to do your research to ensure that you find a vet experienced with rabbits.
What I would do, personally, is to post another thread ''Rabbit savvy vet needed in ..................' to see if anyone here can recommend one.

This exactly. I end up paying about £120 for a spay because they always keep them in overnight for the first night given I live some distance away. Spaying is quite a big operation and I want only somebody rabbit savvy to be performing it so would rather spend the extra. The spay itself and after care is about £100 without the overnight stay. Microchipping is about £15 for us too.

It's £90 at the vets I use (a vets4pets) - that's just taken from their board in reception I don't know what is included in that in the way of follow up appts etc.

Thanks all great advise. I will post in rabbit chat to see if anybody knows of a rabbit savvy vet in my area. If not do you think it would be best to send them back to the rescue to be done as the must obviously have a rabbit savvy vet they use? I can still pay or contribute but was just worried it would be more stress for them as its a 50 min journey?

I have just had a search and the vet I was thinking of still works in the surgery I was planning on going to but it says on the website that she is the vet equivelant of a gp so just does consulting so hopefully somebody will come back on my thread with suggestions.

I should shop around. I don't go to my 'normal' vet for spays as it's far cheaper elsewhere, and I'm assured of the very best in care!
