Spaying And
De-sexing or spaying and neutering of female and male rabbits is an essential veterinary procedure to ensure your rabbit becomes the best possible indoor companion. Unaltered rabbits are governed by their hormones and can spray urine, exhibit sexually motivated aggression, and females can suffer high rates of reproductive cancers.
Spaying or neutering is a generally safe and uncomplicated medical procedure when performed by a vet who has experience with rabbits. See the House Rabbit Society article here for more information.
We have included a list of Rabbit Knowledgeable Vets below.
Rabbit Knowledgeable Vets in the Bexar County Area
The list is a work in-progress as more vets are located in the Bexar County area who have knowledge about the unique medical needs of rabbits. Not all vets have experience caring for rabbits and therefore may not accept rabbits as patients. It is therefore very important that rabbit owners locate a vet before they ever require their services. Rabbits with a mild illness or injury can decline very quickly and die without proper medical care; you don’t want to be hunting for a vet when your rabbit needs help. This is not an exhaustive list and inclusion of a vet on this list is not an endorsement or advertisement for their services; this is an informational listing only.
