Where can I get my rabbits spayed? Is it really that important for their life and would help them living longer?

Question

u can neuter your pet rabbit with any nearby vet in delhi who is specialized in it.

Main benefits from having your pet rabbit spay/neutered:

� Eliminating risk of ovarian/uterine cancers and other uterine diseases such as pyometra (infection in the uterus) in females. The risk of developing cancers of the uterus increases as the rabbit ages. It is best to spay before the rabbit is 2 years of age to greatly reduce the risk.
� Reducing aggressive behaviour Both male and female rabbits (especially females!) can display aggressive behaviours such as biting and lunging. Rabbits that were once easy to handle can become very difficult to pick up once they have reached sexual maturity.
� Reducing urine marking behaviours Males and female rabbits can spray urine on vertical surfaces to mark their territory. It is more commonly seen in males than females. The urine from a sexually mature male also has quite a strong odour. If the behaviour is allowed to continue, it may be impossible to completely stop with neutering so it is best to neuter before sexual maturity or just shortly after to curb this behaviour before it becomes a habit.

Spaying and neutering have other benefits for your pet rabbit as well. These are issues we don?t see as often but can occur:
� Prevention of false pregnancies, prevention of mammary gland disease such as mastitis and prevention of testicular disease.

When Should You Spay or Neuter Your Pet Rabbit?

When male rabbits are between 3 and 5 months old, they are old enough to be neutered. Female rabbits are generally old enough to be spayed between 4 and 6 months; this is when they first reach sexual maturity. When rabbits have reached middle age (5-6 years old) they can be considered too old to be altered. Rabbits that are too young or too old are at higher risk for complications from surgery.
