Hi Everyone!

I joined this lovely site because I thought it would be nice to surround myself with people who value rabbits! 

Anyhow, my topic is pretty straightforward: I’ve got two lovely rabbits, Ruvik and Hazel, and they are two years old. I’ve got them since they were a few weeks old and they’re most precious to my heart.

I’ve read everywhere that female rabbits should be spayed before reaching the age of one year. Problem is, there is no rabbit savvy doctor where I live and the two clinics I’ve been to informed me that they could preform the operation, but it wasn’t reassuring so I opted for not doing it…

Mind you, I’ve lost two rabbits already because of vets ignorance, one was named Cole and he was really young. The other was called Leslie and she was Ruvik’s best friend, and I lost her last year (tearing up as I write this), she was only a year and a half

Plus, the doctors at both clinics told me that they aren’t experts when it comes to rabbits “but” they’ll do it. One clinic told me that they don’t have the proper equipment for a rabbit’s surgery. Twice. On different occasions.

I just don’t know what to do, I don’t wanna risk their lives with the spaying and at the same time I’m worried they’ll get sick in the future, I’m so torn.

Now with their ages, I’m worried about the anesthesia too.

What should I do??
