Thinking of spaying my female rabbit. Is it safe? What's the process?

Question

I’m think about getting my female rabbit spayed but I don’t know how much it would be and how risky it is. I do have plans to talk to my vet soon but I would like some background knowledge first. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 11 months and 6 days old | 8.5 lbs

Hi there! Bonnie is so adorable!! love the pictures. I can't really tell you about prices but I can talk with you about spaying Bonnie. I have done quite a few. Rabbits tend to do just fine as long as they are kept warm during surgery and in recovery. I have lost rabbits when they get cold. That's one of my most important protocols. These guys will have an abdominal incision just like cats and dog. Everybody has their own anesthesia medications as well. My advise is find a veterinarian in your area that is very familiar with rabbit anesthesia and surgery. They are not difficult to spay, but you want an experienced veterinarian who is familiar with the exotics. They recover very quickly and go back to normal pretty quickly. Good luck and hope this helps!
