A Spayed or Neutered Rabbit

Spaying and neutering is a very important surgical procedure. Spaying and neutering keeps your pet bunny from getting pregnant, being aggressive, and can help keep them from getting a type of cancer.
Another term for "spaying" and "neutering" is "fixed". Getting bunny fixed can help make his life a little bit longer!  
When you go to get bunny fixed you must go to a place that does bunnies. Go to high rated vet that does bunnies all the time. This will prevent having something go wrong. 

Things to note:
Some bunny clinics will send bunny home after she has surgery. Other clinics may keep bunny over night to make sure he is OK. If they send bunny home the day of his surgery, make sure that his cage is in a dark, quiet spot where he can feel less stressed. Be sure to ask your vet questions. Clean up bunny's cage with warm or hot water. Clean out her potty tray. Bunny will not eat very much when she comes home but she should be eating and pooping in a day. (She may not eat very much). No treats for 3 days and no exercise for 10 days. Then resume regular playing. NO TOUCHING  his/her incision or picking him/her up by the tummy area. Keep bunny in her dark spot for 5 days. Bunny will also get pain medicine. Have your vet show you how to give her the medicine. Have a grown up put the medicine in.

The Pain Medicine.
 
The Incision.
