Abstract
Rabbits are commonly presented in clinical practice for neutering. While castrating males and performing ovariohysterectomies in females may be considered routine surgical procedures, the veterinary surgeon should discuss with the owner regarding ethical issues, indications and expectations of the procedure, and possible alternatives, prior to performing the surgery. Pre-operative preparation of the patient, surgical techniques and postoperative care are described in this article.
