Rabbit Spay & Neuter

Veterinary spay and neuter services for rabbits are crucial for their health and well-being. Spaying female rabbits, known as does, involves removing their ovaries and uterus to prevent reproductive complications such as uterine cancer, ovarian cysts and reproductive tract infections. Neutering male rabbits, or bucks, entails the removal of their testes to curb aggressive behavior, reduce territorial marking, and prevent testicular cancer. Beyond reproductive health, these procedures also contribute to controlling rabbit overpopulation, a significant issue in many regions. Experienced veterinarians ensure these surgeries are conducted with utmost care, considering the smaller size and unique physiology of rabbits to minimize risks and promote speedy recoveries.

Rabbit spay and neuter services typically involve comprehensive pre-operative assessments to evaluate the rabbit’s health status and determine anesthesia protocols suitable for these sensitive animals. Post-operative care is equally vital, involving pain management, monitoring for complications, and providing a conducive environment for recovery.  Veterinarians may also educate owners on appropriate diet adjustments and behavioral changes post-surgery to support their rabbit’s recovery and long-term health. By offering these essential services, veterinary clinics not only enhance the welfare of individual rabbits but also contribute to broader efforts in animal welfare and population control initiatives within communities.
