Yes they do!

 

[sazzy]

Thank you is it £32 with out the voucher

 

[Azraelm]

No, thats the full price, they are very cheap.
If you try the Notts RSPCA (city centre one, highfield I think :? ), they will hopefully send you a £15 voucher, or however many you need for each indivdual animal so you'll get that off the total.

 

[sazzy]

Thanks mandy i have looked on rspca for hyson green and it says on there they do vouchers If i make an appointment do i ask for rachel

I dont think thats too bad, Trips neuter was about £50 I was charged £170 for Scarletts spay :shock: Its important to find a rabbit savvy vet like the others have said Also my cats spay was cheaper than my rabbits spays although she was spayed 7 years ago, I think it cost about £50 at the same vets my rabbits were done at x

 

[NickieM]

I was £60 for Gloria to be spayed and have her myxi jab at the same time. Wolfie's castration and myxi was £45 or so.

 

[Sooz]

We pay £40 for a castrate and thats with a discount. Rabbits are still classed as exotics which is why many vets can still charge more for them than treating a cat or dog with the same condition. That and they require more specialised treatment due to their anatomy.

A cat spey costs £45 at my vets whilst a rabbit spey is £70...

 

[IzzyTwig]

At my vets it's around £54 for a castration and I think nearly £70 for a spey.

Having done work experience in a vets I can see the difference in price compared to dogs or cats because buns are smaller creatures and getting the anasthesia right is more tricky plus the vet is having to operate on much smaller parts so it can take longer and requires much more concentration.

 

[buda]

We paid $130NZ (£53) per bun for neuter and spey costs much more than that.

My flatmate only paid about $80NZ (£32)for her cat to be speyed but that is because there are subsidies. Apparently unwanted dogs and cats get special treatment.

 

[Sooz]

The RSPCA paid for my cat to be speyed and the Dogs Trust paid for our dog to be speyed. I dont know of anyone who will d that for rabbits in the UK.

 

[holidayhutch]

Flat rate of £34.95 at our vets regardless of the rabbits gender

My french lop was supposed to cost me £35, but when i went to pick him up it ended up being nearly £70:shock: apparantly as he was on the 'large' side he needed more meds......:|

That would have been the GA. Thats what really bumps the costs up in most operations, especially dentals.

 

[toadflaxbex]

my boy was £40, girl was already done

 

[Azraelm]

That's the one! Yes I would always ask for Rachel.

Sorry I just realised I didn't make sense in my post about the cost :lol: £32 is the standard price (or was when I got Rowan neutered there, so it may have gone up a few £'s now), so you can get £15 off whatever the cost is now.

 

[Azraelm]

The RSPCA paid for my cat to be speyed and the Dogs Trust paid for our dog to be speyed. I dont know of anyone who will d that for rabbits in the UK.

The RSPCA gave me a voucher for £15 off for my rabbit- all branches differ though.

 

[maisydaisystar]

it costs £38 for a male neuter and around £55 for the female spay at my vets

Yeah, our branch also does free microchipping for dogs and cats, none of it is income assesed either. They dont do anything for bunnies here though but its nice that some do.
