4022. Spaying and neutering rabbit - email query Dec 7, 2019

EMAIL QUERY to Toa Payoh Vets - Dec 6, 2019
Hi there,

We would like to spay / neuter our rabbits. 

Would we need to arrange a pre-op consultation, or would we only need to book a time for surgery?

Also, could you advise us on cost and recovery time and advice please? 

We are hoping to do this between 10 and 15 Dec if possible, as we will be travelling overseas from 16 to 25 Dec. 

Thank you!

Thank you for email. The reply to your queries are as follows::

1. Castration (neuter) & anaesthetic - male cats, hamsters, rabbits. Excludes e-collar, antibiotics, painkillers  
$200 - $250 for male rabbits, depending on size.

2.  Spay female rabbits, guinea pigs. Excludes antibiotics, painkillers, Elizabeth collars. $380 - $480 depending on size

3. We don't usually require a pre-op consultation. We will examine the rabbit on the day of surgery and if they are OK, they will be operated.

4. Full recovery takes around 14 days. Most rabbits will eat the next day after operation, if given medication and confined for around 14 days esp. for female rabbits. We do provide in-patient post-op services at $20/day/rabbit, preferably for at least 3 days to monitor the rabbits' temperature and health and to clean the wounds and give medication.

5. Surgery from Dec 10 -15, 2019 is OK with us. Please phone 6254-3326 to book an appointment, preferably on weekdays.
