Crofty - i'm also curious to know where you got your figures from, 80% of does develop cancer of the uterus??! This means that some crazy vet must have studyed houndreds of thousands of rabbits to get this figure, and half of thoose 80% would never be dignosed with uterine cancer (I may almost believe that if we were talking about breeding does)! I have a figure from local vets alone, that over 30% of rabbits (male and female) die from the anasetic while being neutered! I'd only ever chance this for a medical reason.


It doesnt sound like they have been seperated to me? Some vets do not always advise people correctly when it comes to rabbits (for example yours by the sounds of it). Ive known does start to pull fur 10 days to 2 weeks before having their kits so thats not strictly true.

My figures of cancer of the uterus are very well known by majority of experienced rabbit owners.

RWAF: Uterine Cancer in the doe

Why Spay Your Rabbit?

Rabbit Rehome - Petshops - Guidelines to Reduce Abandoned Rabbits

Even a figure quoted by the rspca

Home

Breeding does are at lower risk, If your vet loses 30% of buns whilst neutering them i suggest you change vets!!!! You are risking your buns health significantly more by not neutering her. If you want more proof i have lots more! Cancer of the uterus is not pretty I can tell you.

Re: Girl rabbit at it like rabbit!
Ok been away all weekend and only just caught up. I know she isnt pregnant and he was done over a year ago now and they stayed seperated for overa month after it was done.

She has stopped pulling fur out now and i have spoken to alot of people about getting her done and said its not massivly important and thats including 2 different vets in 2 different cities (moved recently)

She is fine for now but am going to get her booked in soon anyway.

Trust me no babies, i think its just she is horny ...

Who are 'alot' of people? Thats disgraceful that you have been advised that by 2 vets, i can tell you the vets i know would strongly advise you to neuter her, i really hope you do. There are alot of vets that do not specialise in rabbits and do not know enough in my opinion, its experience that counts, go to this forum Rabbits United Forum - Powered by vBulletin and ask them see if you can get one person to tell you not to neuter her! I have provided links to back up the huge risk your doe has of developing cancer of the uterus, feel free to ring the rspca if you like, you cant argue with facts. Im glad shes not pregnant, female buns are incrediably hormonal and shes just frustrated, neutering her will sort this behaviour out.

Thansk Crofty, i think you are getting my messages mixed i am not saying i shouldnt i was just saying who i have spoken to and 'alot of people' are pet shop owners, vets, rabbit owners and so on.
