Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Spaying prevents uterine infections and uterine adenocarcinoma , the latter effects approximately 80% of unspayed Does by the age of 5. Some even younger.

This is what my rabbit savvy vet always said.

I have adult ( already neutered ) Rabbits who do not weigh 1.8kg and they never will. Was it an actual Vet who told you that or a Receptionist ?

It was the veterinary nurse - she said it was more essential for a rabbit to be 1.8kg and over than how many weeks they are. Both mine are 2kg already at 18 weeks so technically they could be done (and RSPCA recommend over 17 weeks) but thought Id see what the consensus was on here.
