Several different types of surgical procedures on pets are performed by our veterinarians. Our surgical repertoire includes:

Neutering

Many rabbit owners question why their fluffy pet must be spayed or neutered, particularly if they have no plans to acquire more bunnies. You may be surprised at the reasons! We think that females should be spayed as soon as they become sexually mature, which usually happens between 4-6 months. Males may be neutered as soon as their testicles have descended, which is typically at 3-1/2 months of age.

Amputation

Some rabbits may be born with (or acquire soon after birth) some kind of defect that involves a malformed or missing leg. Others may need amputation as a way to stem disease or infection. The most common cause for amputation is a leg fracture caused by external trauma to the leg.

Abscess Removal

Most rabbit abscess cases will require the use of oral or injectable antibiotics. If the entire abscess is completely removed, then the antibiotics might not be necessary or may be used for only a short time. If the abscess was only lanced and drained, then antibiotic therapy might continue for weeks to months.

Dentistry (Teeth)

Any of the teeth in the mouth can overgrow. Overgrown teeth can dig into the soft tissue in the mouth, which is very painful, and can also prevent your rabbit from chewing properly. So cutting or keeping the Buck Teeth in shape is a necessary process.

Rectal Prolapse

It is a condition in which all layers of rectal tissue and the rectal lining protrude. Prolapse can be incomplete, in which a small portion of the rectal lining is visible when a rabbit passes stool and after which it subsides, or complete, in which a mass of tissue persistently protrudes from the anus.
