New rabbit, cost of spay/neuter?

[Lexi01]

Calling around to local vets is probably your best option. Spay and neutering price very in different parts of the country. Here (utah) it's about $50

I live in London in the UK and the spay cost me about £180 and the neuter cost more like £100

$50! Is this being subsidized by some other organization? Even doing something really simple like a cat neuter at that price, I can't imagine how your veterinarian could turn a profit. When prices get that low I really wonder about what sort of preanesthetic drugs they're using, if you're being sent home with appropriate pain control, etc.

What questions should I ask about spay procedure that would help me to make a decision?

I would ask how often they perform the procedure, what pain meds they would use for recovery, if they could detail the procedure for you... a useful trick is to ask if you should fast your rabbit prior to surgery. If they say yes (like you would for a cat or dog), that would be a big red flag.

My vet clinic gave me a pamphlet about general neutering information, and made a special note regarding not fasting for rabbits.

That's all I know, it says something about low income on the page so you're probably right. I haven't done too much research on places to go just yet. I went to the first few on a google search....

Ah, Best Friends is a well known animal rescue organization. They definitely get funding other than you paying the fee for a spay/neuter so that makes more sense.
