4 years isn’t too old to neuter a male rabbit. Shelters do it all the time.

@BZOO, I’m very sorry you are going through this.

I had a bun who came to me at the age of 6 and who couldnt neutered for health reasons. He was wonderful, but he pee-marked extensively. I had to cover everything with pee pads and shower curtains and easy to wash…[Read more]

I really hope your bunny gets better and makes a complete recovery. Please keep us updated on how he’s faring.

We opted not to neuter our now 9 month old netherland dwarf because we don’t have a trusted vet and don’t want to risk any complications with having the operation done. He gets along fine with our cat (no mounting of any kind) and has r…[Read more]

Well, all I can say is crap happens.

She was well cared for and loved … That is all you can do.

I am sorry for your loss and offer virtual hugs to you and yours.

<p class=”p1″>So unfortunately it took this long for me to arrange another date today. I noticed Winter and Harper were sneezing pretty frequently over the past few weeks then I saw Winter sneeze with some white discharge. I took them both to the vet and they were both cleared as perfectly fine, but Winter did 10 days of low dose antibiotics just…[Read more]

Well, no pic, but got a good look, definitely testies.

No idea what the one vet was talking about.

He’s not doing great, hopefully can get hubby to take him in tomorrow.

I’m going to be in the minority here.

If he’s an only bun, I would not.

Just got my male neutered, in hopes to bond with my spayed female.  He isn’t doing well.  I’m am stressed and beating myself up, he’s probably going back to vet tomorrow.

This is the first time I’ve altered a bun, female came spayed, and the stress is immense!

You adopted them as babies? If they are still growing, then I would say they are probably a medium-large breed mixes. Maybe Havana or New Zealand is in there somewhere. One of them has the harlequin pattern. Harlequin is a breed as well… but the genes for the harlequin pattern have been introduced into many breeds, so you can’t go off of coloring alone.

The white one is 4.5 pounds and the black and white one is 3.5 pounds. I adopted them both about 5 months ago.

Thank you so much for the response.  It is comforting knowing this is normal, takes the worry away.  I have a first vet appointment coming up in November and could not wait that long to find out the answer.  Thank you again.

How big are they?

Well, I suppose. But that is more invasive. I know my vet doesn’t do it that way. Do some vets prefer that method for some reason?

Hello both!

I want to thank you so, so much for your generous answers, they are so full of insight and wisdom. You’ve offered invaluable support which has helped us to feel a little bit less lost and confused during this difficult time. Having rabbits often feels quite magical to me. They are these wonderful little personalities and souls that…[Read more]
