It’s the best thing to ask. You always want to ask how many surgeries they’ve done before, and you want to ask what the success rate is. Getting a boy neutered isn’t as invasive as a female spay, so typically the surgery is a lot smoother with less recovery time. Buns can still be pretty doped out on the meds when they’re first home, but after a day or two they should be perking back up.

Also, make sure you go home with pain meds. Even if they don’t give them to you, ask anyways.

Another good indicator is seeing if they tell you appropriate and good-quality information for preparing for the surgery and after surgery care.

Do they recommend to fast your rabbit before the surgery? If so, that’s a BIG mistake. Rabbits should NOT be fasted before a neuter, so if they say it, they are either uninformed or not being attentive.

Do they mention restricting climbing and hopping? That’s important so the stitching doesn’t get damaged or strained.

Do they mention pain medication and provide it?

These are some good items a conscientious rabbit vet may mention.

My vet told me she always hopes it’s a male bunny when someone comes in to have their bunny fixed. She said males are just less complicated and have less risks, so there’s a good thing to keep in mind!

When I was getting Pepper scheduled, she told me to keep him eating because rabbits should never have food withheld. She said to provide plenty of hay, greens, treats and pellets when I dropped him off to make sure he had plenty to choose from after surgery. It was important that he eats so whatever he chose was fine! She told me ahead of time that she would give me syringes of pain meds for after care, and that I needed to keep him confined and calm while he heals. All good things to hear the surgeon say!

I’d suggest asking about these things if the don’t bring them up. I would think a good vet would tell you all of this ahead of time, though.
