Sorry for all the posts, I'm a new rabbit owner.
I have some questions about getting my rabbit spayed and vaccinated. My rabbit Junebug is around one and a half years old. We adopted her when she was about a year old. We adopted her from a farm but she was currently staying with a veterinarian technician. We asked her previous owner if Junebug was spayed or vaccinated or needed to be and she said no and that rabbits really don't need to be spayed or vaccinated. I obviously trust her because she's a veterinarian technician. However recently many people have said I should spay Junebug because she has started chewing everything. Taking her to a vet unless it was a true emergency would be hard because we don't live very close to a vet that accepts rabbits and because of what her previous owner said I didn't think I had to spay her, unless not spaying her really could cause serious health problems. I also worry about anesthesia because I know small animals can sometimes have complications with it and because she is over the best age to get rabbits spayed. I also wouldn't want her personality to change. She is very funny and energetic. I just would like to know if spaying and vaccinating is necessary, if anesthesia is a risk, and if her personality could change if I get her spayed.
