i have a male bunny and i want to take him to the vet to get him spay/neutered. what is the difference between the two? is one for females and one for males?
im really worried though because i dont know what the whole spaying/neutering process is like or how long it will take.
how long will it take him to heal?
what do i have to do so he will be comfortable when he comes back home?
how old does a bunny have to be to get neutered?
if theres a vet that specializes in bunnies could you please help!

I'm not a vet, but I am a small animal rescuer that recently checked into neutering a rabbit we rescued and I know what my vet told me. We also have a female to be spayed later. Good decision to make. Male rabbits are prone to getting Testicular cancer after age 5 unless they are neutered, which is done after 5 months of age. Females are prone to getting Uterine cancer if not spayed, which is done between 6 months and 2 years. As you can see males are neutered and females are spayed. Males usually don't require stitches and are healed from surgery in less then a week, but can't be placed with a female for at least 14-16 days, the males are still capable of impregnating a female during this time frame. Best bet for the first 24 hours after coming home is to let the rabbit rest and follow any directions on feeding during this time. The next day he may still have pain, but he may want to be played with some. When holding him, support the rear end but be careful not to touch incision area. I'd hold him under the bottom of his feet if he'll let you.
Im not a vet but one is for a female and one os for a male. For the female, they take their whole uterus out. For males, they take their balls away and then they are a lot more healthy. Like for females, if you dont get them "fixed", they can get cancer on their uterus. It doesnt take that long to heal. When my dog had the surgery, he was fine and could run on the 3rd or 4th day after. For a bunny it would be easy because you just put him in his cage. To comfort him, offer plenty of food and water, but dont pet or hold him. Sometimes animals can get mad at you for what you have done and will try to bite you. Also if you pick him up after the surgery, it could hurt his stitches so dont! Hope this helps!
neutering is for males like your bunny. the healing time is about one week. you should just let him take it easy. don't feed him until about an hour until he gets home and only a little food. you can spay a bunny anywhere you could a dog or cat.
NEUTER HIM!!!!!WOO*HOO.LOL
right neutered is for males
it'l,take him 6 weeks to heal
the whole proceeses won't take long and i'm not tellin u ot it is like - trust me u don't want to know
any vet'll do it
A bunny has to be about a year old to be neutered
No there is no vet that specialises in bunnys
U could try the vets or the rabbit socoiety
yes there is a difference between spay and neuter spay is a female and neuter is a male. When you bring him home usualy the vet will tell you what to do but the most important thing is to keep him warm and comfortable like maybe a nice soft towel for him to lay on for the night. I know once any animal has surgery they are really cold so being warm is very important and just keep a good eye on him for the next 24 hours and make sure he is not bleeding from the where the cut was made thats about all you gotta do. I dont know of any vets that just specialize in bunnies but almost every vet knows about bunnies so it should not be hard to find one.
first take your bunny to the vet for a check up, talk to your vet about spaying(female) or neutering(male) your bunny.
recovery takes about a week but every animal heals at different rates. your vet will give you instructions on what to do after the surgery. its very routine i have 4 dogs 2 cats and a horse and all of them have been fixed without any problems
I'm not a vet, but I can answer your question. First of all, spaying is females, neutering is males. Also, the rabbit should be at leat 1 1/2 to 2 before being neutered. The healing process is about 1 month. The only thing you can do for him is make sure he does not pick at his stitches.
