Touie, I posted to you under pics re your new bunny, and I hadn't realized you had lost your beautiful Amy so tragically. I am so very sorry and it must have been such a shock to you.

I'm sure your bunny will be fine :) I have had 4 done and a chinchilla and only had a problem with Amy, there's a small risk but it's quite rare. I'll be scared to get another spayed now but i still think it's worth the risk as the cancer rate is so high in unspayed females.
 
I can't believe this happens. But like you say, cancer rate is 80% for unspay female, so there isn't really of a choice. It's so rare that a heart stop under the surgery like this.

Very sorry for your loss.
 
Dear Touie
So sorry to hear about Amy, I know how you feel though as it has happened to me with buns twice and a guinea pig once. The vets assured me that it is a rare thing to happen, although it doesn't stop you being frantic for the next time.

Sorry for your loss. Hugs to you.

I am so sorry to hear about Amy. I went through similar about 3weeks ago. One of my buns Smoky had only gone in for a dental I phoned up to see how he was and they were just about to do him, 3mins later I got the dreaded call to say he had passed away just as they were giving him the anaesethic.
