There may be discussion worth looking at in this thread under Vet Costs in the Resource Center...

Hi Jenny,

I've used 2 places....neither one was very cheap.

Our regular vet is at the Banfield Vets in the Paramus Pet Smart.
It was around $200 for a spay. Neuters are less, but I don't know how much.
Banfield is a bit expensive, but we love our vet to pieces.

There's also a place in Saddle Brook that we used for the first 2 rabbits we got.
It was around $90 for neutering, but I really didn't care for the vet or staff.
We haven't used them since.

It scared me too at first! I thought some bunny had died or something. Thank goodness that's not the case.

once again guys im sorry turbo is healthy and fine i just want to neuter him. im gonna call tomorrow after school.once again sorry

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

That's quite all right Turbo, I was a little dense there.

hey guys!!! so yesterday i had called a bunch of places to find out how much it would be to have my babys boy bits takin away now the raritan savvy vet charges $230 including an over night stay. i believe that me and hubby are gonna go half becauseto be honest $230 is a lot of money. im just iffy about having my baby ina strange place over night... i am soooooo nervous we are gonna come up wit the money first and then schedule an appointment.

 

[MyBoyHarper]

First, I find $230 extremely steep just to have a male neutered. Having a female spayed typically costs more due to the invasive procedure. I've never heard of $230 to have a male neutered.

I've also never heard of a vet keeping a male rabbit overnight after being neutered. Males typically breeze through the fairly simple procedure and unless there's complications, they do not require an overnight stay. It will actually stress them out more being away from home.

I'm iffy on that vet and, if I were you, I'd look around some more.

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

:yeah that I agree completely. I paid about $170 in Illinois.

 

[pumpkinandwhiskersmom]

Whoa! That's ridiculously steep! :shock: And I totally agree that keeping him overnight is odd....hopefully you can find something more reasonable in both ways!

 

[naturestee]

I don't like the part about having stay with the vet overnight either. Are they fully staffed the entire night? I agree that he'll be much less stressed and more likely to eat if he's at home with you. Maybe you could work something out with the vet or find a different vet?
