What are the pros and cons of getting my 7 month old female Dwarf Lionhead fixed. She is the only rabbit, in fact the only pet, in the house and their is just me, one adult who lives in the house.
I am very leary about getting her fixed because I am so scared something will go wrong. I had the cutest Teddy Bear Hamster (Bazal) who got sick after two years. I had take him to vet and found out he had pneumonia. After trying to make him better he passed away in my hands one night. This was needy Hamster who even went to the vets every 3 months for a teeth trimming.
5 months later I adopted an adorable Hedgehog named Spork, I had him for only a short 8 months when he got really sick. After various vet visits that included driving to a specialist two hours away several times amounting to over $600 in vet bills I had to have him put down because of a urinary blockage they could not unplug.
Now, 7 months later, I have Smudge, who I am hoping will llive a long and healthy life and I do not want to make her undergo any high risk surgeries if the benefits do not outweigh the risks. She has been in first health check-up I know she is in excellent health right now. At this point if I lost another pet I do not thing I could stand it at all. After all look how cute she is. P.S. If you recommend gettring her Spayed do know a good vet in North Bay, Ontario, Canada?
