Spay and Neuter for Rabbits

The same as cats and dogs receive benefits from spay and neuter surgery, rabbits do as well. When female rabbits are spayed, their chances of developing uterine cancer are significantly decreased. Also, for male rabbits, disruptive, testosterone-fueled behavior is significantly curtailed. In-tact male rabbits are likely to display aggressive, territorial behavior, which can cause a problem if you have more than one rabbit.

Environmental and Nutritional Counseling

Some people incorrectly think exotic pets require less attention and maintenance than cats and dogs. However, small mammals, like rabbits and pocket pets, have evolved as prey animals. Therefore, they can be especially sensitive to their environments. When they’re placed in a loud area or mishandled, they may exhibit excessive nervous energy, which reduces their quality of life.

Exotic pets also require proper, balanced diets. The same as small mammals are sensitive to their environments, they’re also sensitive to improper diets. Regular wellness care, including environmental and nutritional counseling, can help prevent any health problems for your exotic pet. Contact us for more information or to schedule an appointment.
