Today I tried to get in to see the bunny savvy vet at our local clinics to talk to her about spaying my darling hormonal EA Ash, I kept missing her as she was travelling between the two closest and when I asked my nearest clinic about desexing the vet nurses were a bit iffy and when I was told the price I was a bit shocked. Plus a comment by the senior nurse that bunnies are 'more at risk' undergoing the surgery than most other animals had me wondering what they really knew about bunnies.
I've been going to this vet clinic with all my pets for decades but although this bunny savvy vet is lovely I'm still going to call and ask a few other clinics (within about an hour radius) if they have a bunny vet and spaying costs etc. I feel a bit bad about breaking the loyalty but Ash's health comes first and for such an important surgery I want a team who knows what they're doing.
I know some of the basic questions to ask: Should I fast my bunny? No they don't vomit and should never have an empty belly, to make sure she wouldn't be given anything remotely related to penicillin and check they use Isoflurane to put them 'under'. Anything else I should be asking?
