I don't know if I'm just tainted because I lived in a place where the highest price I'd ever heard for a neuter was 80 dollars, but this is just insane. I've been calling around all day in search of a vet in my new area (Pasadena,CA) to neuter Holly. Now when she was really a "she" I was totally expecting to pay in the hundreds to have her altered. Now that we know she is actually a HE, I was kind of relieved as far as altering costs go... Well apparently I was wrong! I've called 10 places and all quoted me 300+.
For a neuter. That is just insane, I am sorry. Rabbits may be more sensitive to anesthesia etc etc etc but no way is that procedure actuallyworth 300+ dollars.
It's no wonder LA county has population issues; if it cost that much to spay/neuter your bunny (and I was toldby several of them cats ran about the same price!!) no wonder more people don't do it! Geez louise.
At that rate it's *literally* cheaper for me to fly home, get him done there, and fly back!
My next step is to contact bunny rescues and see where they get theirs done. I've contacted two in the area and never heard back from either (lovely) so hopefully I'll have better luck with that... Gah it's just really discouraging. I know if it comes down to it I'll have to pay the freakishly outlandish price these people seem to think is normal, but I just hate to do that when I know how ridiculous that is. I don't know, I'm just frustrated I suppose. :/
