the humane society prob gets a discount. i know a lot of shelters get them done for way cheaper than we would. i hate when ppl act like that though. that was really rude. its not your fault that they were busy.

Whoa… that seems like way too much.

How are you feeling, by the way?

What happened Lin? I must’ve missed this…foot trouble?
I dunno…I know people get busy, but if you want to run a decent establishment, just take a number and call your client back when you have more time to discuss stuff. How hard is that?
Also, with females, the spay is a little more involved than removing the male organs. I not only think it’s a high price, but I also find it infuriating that you can’t seem to get a moment with the vet who will do the job. I wouldn’t just hand my bun off to some nameless, faceless entity for any surgical procedure. As the professional, it’s part of what I’m paying them for to meet with me, talk about what they’re going to do and inform me of any risks or aftercare procedures I need to bone up on. Otherwise, imo, it’s not a ‘professional’ organization.
Just my two cents. ^_^

Goodness the vets too.  Alright people stop being rude to Lintini.   You want business  act like it.  My vets office is busy too but they take msgs. and I can speak to the vet directly if I ask.   I can email her too. They have a website and  I can access my buns info there.  Like what meds Cotton has had n such.

I hope you get good service and find the right vet for  you.  Since ours is just down the street if I got treated like that I would stop in. I don’t know if you got the to go in and ask your questions or not tho.

Lintini, are you keep your feet really clean? Maybe you should soak them in some diluted hydrogen peroxide or something. If it hurts now, I imagine it would be way worse infected!

Don’t think of it as icky… we’ve all been there with various types of grossness. It’s just part of being human. Try your best to take of yourself and know that we’re thinking about you!

Unfortunatley I had a difficult time with vets in my area. I have been utilizing advice from this site  and also Davida who heads the Northern area of NY House Rabbit Society.  I am hoping that my crazy issues will be resolved shortly! We took our daughters bun to a “supposedly rabbit savy” vet in the canton area. After the surgery the rabbit was paralyzed and his back was broke. It was horrible and nothing I ever want to go through again. He had to be put down.  My daughter couldn’t get another rabbit, she was and Is too distraut over it. (she is 18) Then I went through the whole call back, we will call you back thing.  Finding someone reputable for rabbits here has been tough. I started getting gun shy, I felt almost bad to ask questions as it almost ended up with the same result…staff being annoyed. Then I called a vet here up on some recommendations from local people.  This vet not only answered all my questions, happily…he would even call me at work when he had time to ask if I had any more questions and he wanted to continue learning about buns and making sure I feel comfortable with him and his staff as well. 

My advice…..they are all so right here….continue to ask questions, if they don’t have time, please try somewhere else. i am a very trusting person by nature. i try to see the good in everyone, but sometimes we let that get the better of us. If you feel like this when calling, imagine your frustration when there is something really wrong, will you get the attention and answers to calm your nerves? Or get the shuffle to call tomorrow?  I think you already know the answer and  you are just looking for clarification to go somewhere else.  Find someone you feel comfortable with ! 

zootoo was a good source too to read peoples comments about local vets around here. I didn’t know it existed until this month.
