Cost of spaying/neutering

[ldoerr]

Since I joined this sight yesterday I have noticed that a lot of people talk about spaying and neutering their rabbits. My question is How much does this generally run?? I was a breeder for 4 years of rabbits so have never considered it before. I have also never considered keeping 2 rabbits together. I highly doubt that my parents would let me get another bunny let alone take one to the vet (sad I know, we spend WAY too much at the vet on our dogs and cat as it is). I am just wondering for in the future.

It really does vary based on were you live and the size of the bunny and the gender etc. it can range from maybe 100 to 300 dollars or even possibly more

Varies from place to place--heard of prices from $50 to over $400.

We paid $220 for our boy and $320 for our girl. We live in northern Virginia, so being near a big city might mean higher prices. Prices are usually lower in rural areas.

The normal cost at our vet is $257, but our rescue gets them done for $65. The wonderful thing about our vet is that if the person says they can't afford the fee, they give them my phone number and tell then to call me. I think it is because by going through our rescue, the vet is able to write off the difference as a charitable contribution on their taxes.

It really depends on the area and who is doing it. I got Harvey's neuter done thru my local SPCA (they always have rabbits and always spay and neuter) and their price for males is $35. However that did not include pain meds. I would have had to get that thru my vet. My vet would do a neuter for $170.

Agnes is getting spayed next Friday for $110.

June's spay was $165

I'm spending $170 on my buns spay Thursday. It's going to be worth every penny because bunny puberty is driving us both crazy. Extra pain medication will be $35, but I was told she might not need it.
