So I have heard from many people and sources that not spaying a rabbit will lead to aggressiveness and there's a 60-80% chance females from the ages of 2-4 getting uterine cancer.
But from others I have heard that it's actually very rare for a female to get uterine cancer and as long as she is not aggressive and not with any intact males - then there's no need to spay her.
I would like to know who is correct. My rabbit is nearly a year old (can't believe it!) she's around 10 months old, and a holland lop (but like 2.5-6 lbs - maybe a little more) She is extremely friendly and actually lives with my neutered male and there has never been ONE fight between them - even when I first introduced them to each other during the "bonding" process.
The vet I would go to would be Dr Effie (city vet dallas) and apparently she is the neuter/spay vet for the rescue I adopted my male from, so I suppose she is good at doing surgeries, but if you know her and have anything to say about her then that would be greatly appreciated!
If it is that important to spay her then I would like to do it now in the summer before I start school later this month, so I can watch her and stuff.
