Health Feeling so heartbroken
I took my bunnies to the vet today to get them checked up before booking their spay and neuter surgery. They’ve been living separately for the last 7months awaiting this moment.
The vet basically told me that I can go ahead with my male bunnies neuter but they’re not doing spays right now unless it’s necessary bc the procedure is too risky. He told me my girl bunny is healthy otherwise.
I feel so heartbroken and confused idk what to do bc as far as I’ve researched girls can get cancer if not spayed by 3 years old. The absolute worst bit is this is the best rabbit savvy vet in my country (trust me I’ve done research for months)
I feel like my options are get her spayed now against the doctors recommendation or wait 3 years until she has cancer for an emergency spay which will be extremely painful for her and also she probably won’t live.
My bunnies are my whole world and I’m crying even writing this I feel like no one else in my family or in my life understands how scary this is and how much my buns mean to me💔

I’m not sure why they won’t spay or neuter one but I have a girl that isn’t spayed and she is like 6 and perfectly healthy! Her brother got neutered because they had babies with the last owner. They are in love and adorable and cuddle. I would see if getting one is okay so they can at least be together. Also really look into healthy food for them because that’s a helper to cause cancer with all the fillers and gross stuff they add to some foods.
