     Spaying or Neutering your rabbit is very much the same as spaying or neutering your cat or dog. In rabbits however you do not need to withhold food or water. Rabbits cannot vomit which then eliminates the chance of vomiting or regurgitating while under anesthesia. Most patients go home the same day. They are given pain medication while here and if needed you will be sent home with additional medications.
 

Rabbits are not to be fasted the night before surgery and their food and cage are to be brought with you the morning they are dropped off for their surgery!!
 
Spays
     The spay surgery involves the removal of the ovaries and the uterus. Rabbits usually are allowed to go home the same night and are to be kept quiet and possibly given pain medication.
     Prior to surgery, your rabbit is assessed for potential anesthetic risks. Blood work is done and minimal testing requirements are recommended based on the age and health status of your rabbit. Additional tests may be run if so requested. Anesthetized patients are cared for and monitored by experienced and certified technicians. Heart activity, oxygen levels, and blood pressure are all carefully monitored to ensure your rabbit is stable and safe while anesthetized.
