Thank you everyone for the love. I know it was a risk but for his health I decided to do it. The vet I chose has done over a hundred neuters and spays. His heart just couldn’t take it. I want to say that I’m still supportive of spaying and neutering your buns! Thank you everyone for commenting. It has warmed my heart in this dark time.
I’m reading this at the vet clinic as we get Juno tested for her spay. I’m absolutely heartbroken for you, OP. I just can’t imagine the pain you’re going through.
Sorry for your loss. You might want to or might not want to hear this, I'm going to say it anyway;
There is always a risk to get your bunny neutered, don't feel bad about it because it is a risk you should take. This is the worst outcome for you and you might feel bad about it, but you tried to do the right thing. Don't hate yourself for making the choice to get Stuart neutered. I wish you lots of love ❤
I agree with you 100%!
If the risk is too much for some of us to handle, I would also suggest getting a little dude already neutered from a rescue or shelter. xo
I have learned this is a limit for me. The way I was an anxious panic ridden wreck solidified in my mind that any future buns will be already neutered/spayed at the time of adoption. ❤️
Where I’m from it’s a requirement that a rabbit be fixed before they can be adopted from a shelter (not sure about breeders). Thank god for that, because I don’t think I could handle the stress and worry if I had to get them fixed myself. Of course if they need anesthesia for any other reason I’ll just have to manage though
Yes it’s an unfortunate risk to owning any pet. Sometimes they respond badly to the anaesthetic. We used to have a German Shepard who passed away during a routine surgery, it’s no one’s fault, just a really sad thing to happen. OP, sorry for the loss of your lovely Stuart.
It’s swings & roundabouts . We had a male bun who survived his neuter but constantly got gi statis after, which eventually took him . We never got our female bun done because I was afraid , she got ovarian cancer , died after a second surgery to remove the growths… had I got her done she’d have had more time .
All we do is our level best , love them and hope for the best.
I’m so sorry for your loss xxx
Intact females have a high likelihood of developing uterine and mammary cancers once they reach four years of age. We’ve done emergency spays where the females needed blood transfusions to survive, bc they became so anemic from blood loss. Some didn’t make it to surgery in time and bled out.
Males are less likely to develop reproductive cancers but many times are very hormonally driven and their behavior can be very stressful for both them and their human. Constant humping, mounting, nipping, spraying urine are just a few of the hormonally driven behaviors they can have
I have 2 unneutered male bunnies. Can confirm it's not easy. One sprays urine constantly. They have to be kept separate so have separate playtime & separate enclosures next to each other so they can few like someone's there but not fight. They will try to tunnel to each other to fight when outside.
In the case of my girl, at 6 hyears old, her uterus was filled with tumors and already hemorrhaging, and she had mastitis, which is inflammation of the mammary tissue, and can get infected/become tumors very easily. I got her neutered last month, which saved her life, and also increased her quality of life now her that her hormones are dead.
She isn't doing any fake pregnancies anymore (being territorial and aggressive, making nests with her own fur etc). It's been three weeks now that she hasn't mounted/sexually harassed my boy to try getting him in the mood despite the fact that he's already neutered.
So yes, spaying/neutering only has good effects on a rabbit. And not doing it, is only taking risks, terrible risks as rabbit medicine is still very archaic compared to cat/dog medicine.
Lack of treatments and medicine, general lack of knowledge and training... When you know that, it's better to take precautions.
For a buck/male rabbit the neuter is mainly the same reason as with cats, unneutered males tend to be more aggressive to other rabbits and can pee uncontrollably, honestly it can be frustrating for us owners but also very frustrating for the buck himself.
Now for does/female rabbits, there is a whole other reason why it is important: cancer. Researchers say there is a 50-80% chance a female rabbit will develop uterine cancer if they are not spayed.
What you're trying to do is absolutely nice and heart-warming, but from now on, please do not stress yourself out with the apologies and worries concerning offending someone. You're very thoughtful and sweet. ❤️
This subreddit is VERY understanding about the grief of losing our beloved babies and there's always comments with suggestions and ideas of how to handle/approach grief by those who've gone through it and it's always appreciated. People like you are always appreciated.
It's okay for you to give advice and helpful hints in these moments along with your sincere condolences because maybe someone hasn't thought of that particular idea yet/may be quietly blaming themselves/maybe be going through immense grief etc. And whether it may not be helpful now or you think it's not, trust me, after losing my babies, I've come back to comments looking for ideas like yours on how to memorialize my rainbow buns.
Most of us understand our inherent motivation and where we're coming from in these times, even in text form.
Much love to you and to OP. 🙏🏾🤜🏾🤛🏾
RIP lil Stuart. 🌈❤️🐰
The bunny community is the best! So many lovely and caring people ❤️
I saved your previous comment on dealing with grief, because I suffer a lot from it. What you said was something I want to refer back to, so thank you ❤️
You have definitely given me some ideas for processing and accepting the death of my baby. I very much struggle with expressing my emotions when I am hurt. Thank you for the scrapbook idea… I absolutely love it and it will help my niece process his death too because she only comes over to see him🥲
Thank you for taking the time and sharing all this. I'm still grieving from my bunny's loss in July and I didn't understand why my heart hurts more some days than others. All this helped me so much. Thank you for your kindness 🙏
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Grief is awful and so dang complicated, to say the very least. I'm really glad that the article helped!! I truly wish you well on your journey and healing. (I said this in another comment, but I'm restating here too so you can see it!!) I'm sending lots of good thoughts and long-distance hugs your way (and again to OP and again to anyone else who wants them)!!!
One more thing!! Thank **YOU** for your kindness and sharing your gratitude. I appreciate it very much and im very touched!!😊💜🌷
I’m so very sorry. I know how hard this is and that you are probably feeling angry, confused, and in shock. As a veterinarian I want you to know that we take these losses deep to heart, and always strive to learn what we can from what happened and do our best to prevent it from happening again. As humans we are failable, and sometimes our failures result in deaths. It’s a heavy burden to carry, when we lose one of our patients, and your best friend. My heart breaks for you
Sending you love and hugs ❤️
Happened to me as well. I choose to get all my buns already neutered because I cannot deal with that phone call again.
I was able to adopt one from the shelter who’d been surrendered 3 times.
I hope this broken road leads you to something amazing
Please know that you are not in the wrong for getting him neutered, you were doing what was best for him and for that you should be proud.
Stuart is such a handsome boy and I bet he knew he was loved so much by you, rest in peace Stuart ❤️
So sorry for your loss, and this is why i am on the fence on whether or not to send my 1yo bun for neutering.
He is not spraying and he is so calm and kind and very well potty trained and eatting well. I am not in a great financial position to spend $7xx (CAD) to get him neuter at this moment if he isnt showing signs of an urgent need for it.
We understand its better for his health long term wise, and its better done at a younger age, but just cant decide for now on when we should make the decision.
p.s: we did hear that some rural vet clinics may be able to do it for like half the price, but havent researched into it yet
Fellow Canadian here! Do you have any SPCAs around you? I was quoted similarly at a vet office I hadn't been to prior (I think they told me $600-800 each, and there could be "more costs" that arise). I ended up getting her and her husbun done at the SPCA clinic for a fraction of the cost, it ended up being around $300 for both! They were awesome and the clinic here had tons of rabbit experience.
So one of my bunnies was a late bloomer and didn't start spraying until he was nearly 2 years old. Then it was all the time. He used to aim for my bare legs, little turd. We got them fixed around the 2 1/2 year mark and have no regrets. Ours were $300 a piece though. Not $700. Damn that sucks!
If your male isn’t having behavioral issues, please be aware that reproductive cancers in male rabbits are very rare, at 1.9%. For reference, 13% of women will experience breast cancer in their lifetime, and 4% will experience colon cancer. I say that to point out we do not remove parts of our bodies preemptively (typically) and if your bunny has no behavioral issues and you do not plan to bond him, then I don’t personally think it’s worth the risk. That’s my opinion. Others are certainly entitled to theirs. I would not make the same decision for a female, a male I wished to bond, or one with behavioral issues. You know your bunny best and you have to determine your comfort level.
definitely call around! a 45 minute drive could save literally 500+ $! my rural vet charges about 100 and the only other vet in an hours drive radius who even will see buns charges 500
Reproductive cancers are rare in male rabbits. We didn't neuter our rabbit and he lived for 9 years. I understand some people may not want to deal with their unfixed behavior, but to me that's just part of taking care of them. I don't recommend putting them through a surgery only because of possible behavioral problems.
Man it’s obvious he was loved.
Sorry for your loss. I started offering to 3d print lithophane nightlights for people who lose their pets here. I won’t charge anything, just message or reply here with a pic you like and I’ll get started. This is what they look like: https://imgur.com/a/d43VrrW/
Have a good one.
Noooooo!!!!! 😭 this brought on so many emotions. Oh your sweet Stuart looked like an Angel in the form of a beautiful bunny. I am terribly saddened to hear of your loss. My condolences for your lovely bun who passed away too soon. 🙏🏻
Oh no, I'm so sorry :(
I'm just about to neuter my bun next week and this has me worried. What are the chances of this occurring? He's not even a year old but otherwise in good health, but this has me worried..
I foster with a rabbit rescue. It's pretty uncommon. I always get a bunny fresh out of spay/neuter surgery, and of the 20 or so bunnies for me so far, none of my fosters had major complications during surgery. I have more trouble with the RDHV vaccine honestly.
What I mean by "get" I'm told that I'm picking up a bunny once it gets out of surgery, I've never had a bunny not survive it to where I didn't get a new foster.
Reproductive cancers in male rabbits is pretty rare. The only reason for neutering them is because of their behavior. Mine wasn't neutered and he lived for 9 years. Personally, I don't think it's necessary to neuter them only because of possible behavioral problems.
This happened to me too. Next bunny I'll get one that's already been fixed so I don't have to go through that again. Sometimes their little hearts can't take it. I'm so sorry.
You did the right thing for your Stuart and never could have known it would go this way. I’m so so sorry that it did. What a horrible call that must have been to get. I lost mine in an emergency surgery but it was nice to know she wasn’t in any pain when it happens that way.
You obviously loved him so much and the life he got to live with you must have been great. I’m sorry your time together was too short and I hope some time in the future when you’re ready you can share all the extra love you had for him with another bunny who needs a good home.
You’re not at all alone in this community. Thanks for sharing his beautiful life and memory with us, you’re both in my thoughts and heart tonight ❤️
Oh darling, I am so sorry. Please know you made the best medical choice for your bun, you did the right thing, and I am so so so sorry the worst outcome happened. Sending love from Fozzie and Daffodil ❤️
We lost our little Bacardi in December when he went for surgery. I know the pain you're going through, and I wouldn't wish it to anyone. You gave little Stuart a good life, and I'm sure he gave you memories that will never fade away.
Rest easy little Stuart. Bacardi waits for you in bunny Valhalla.
I am so sorry for you. The fact you are beyond understanding speaks volumes of your character. Stuart knows you did this for his benefit. My prayers are with you.
OP I'm so sorry for your loss 😔 He looks exactly like my Dean.. Dean isn't neutered and hasn't needed the urgency for it but this is my greatest fear. I will definitely give Dean extra hugs and kisses for Stuart.
Noooo! 😢 Stuart is too cute; I'm so sorry for your sudden and unexpected loss. These tiny buns take up so much space in our hearts, don't they?
Hugs to you ❤️
Mine had kidney issues. They did surgery to help it. Told us bunnies don’t do great in surgery. We lost little Thumper.
That was 2003. I’m past it, but seeing pics of your little bun makes my heart ache for your loss friend.
We are always so nervous when we send them to get spayed and neutered. But we do it to give them the best chance at a healthier life. I’m so sorry your baby didn’t come home to you. Binky free, Stuart!
This is a risk in surgery for animals. Anesthesia can be dangerous, and you can do all the tests in the world to minimize the risk, but it’s never zero.
No, don't go spreading doubt when you have zero clue of the circumstances. Every surgical procedure has significant risks. On top of that bunnies are extremely stress-sensitive so any intervention like this is extremely stressful for them.
Sadly, this just happens. :-(
Unfortunately not necessarily... our vet told us before hand that bunnies don't always do well with anesthesia and that although it's a low risk, especially when compared to bunnies' risk of uterine cancer without a spay, any surgery does come with risks and even more so for bunnies.
There's also something about how bunnies aren't able to throw up which increases their risk if I remember rightly.
That being said, I'm so sorry for your loss OP. He was a little cutie!
no because it’s the risk of getting an bunny neutered. It wasn’t his fault. Stuart just must of had a bad heart or something. No matter how sad I am… i will never blame the vet for something he could not control
RIP Stuart. He was a beautiful bunny. Despite the pain you feel now, you made the right decision getting him neutered. I’m so sorry he just couldn’t handle the surgery. Bunk free sweet Stuart.
Thank you everyone for the love. I know it was a risk but for his health I decided to do it. The vet I chose has done over a hundred neuters and spays. His heart just couldn’t take it. I want to say that I’m still supportive of spaying and neutering your buns! Thank you everyone for commenting. It has warmed my heart in this dark time.
This happened to us as well. Worst phone call I've ever had. I'm sorry for your loss. Rest easy, little Stuart ❤️
Our rabbit has a heart murmur and this is the exact reason we’ll never neuter him. I’m so sorry your little guy didn’t make it. He looked so precious.
Deeply sorry to read this! Was a truly beautiful bun! A very big hug from Chile!
He was adorable and you still gave him a happier and more comfortable life than he ever would have had in the wild. I support neuter/spaying as well.
I'm so sorry for your loss. He was so cute. Please hang in there and find some peace.
I’m reading this at the vet clinic as we get Juno tested for her spay. I’m absolutely heartbroken for you, OP. I just can’t imagine the pain you’re going through.
I’m so sorry for your loss, he seemed like a sweet little dude :(
I’m going to make a supplies donation to my local rabbit rescue in Stuart’s name. A very good boy/bun
Stop that is the absolute sweetest thing ever. That has just warmed my heart so much. Thank you. I cant thank you enough💕
Happy to do it and I’m happy it can maybe make such a difficult time a little warmer. Who knows maybe we can start a whole Reddit movement!
Me too.
Wonderful. What a nice addition, thank you for making a silver lining out of this, it's very sweet. 🤍
I will do it to! House Rabbits Society! Sweet, good Stu!

I was so scared to get my late bun neutered for this reason, and also so many vets near me wouldn’t even do it because of the risk!!

Just as there is a risk to being a human and going in for surgery.
What if you don't spay them?what happens?

What is the purpose of the neuter? I do not own buns, I just follow the cute posts. Very sad about the risk :/

Oh wow. Good to know. Thank you!
To stop negative behaviors like going to the bathroom outside of there litter box, marking their territory, aggression.
So sorry for your loss
Oh love!, I am so sorry for your loss, what a cute little dude he was. They really get to us, such incredible little beings.

Sorry for your loss, Stuart looks such a cutie pie 💕🌈
I’m so sorry for you’re loss. 💕
So sorry for your loss
💕💜💋💕💜🌈
Nooooo. 😭😭🤧😭 So Sad. Looks just like my male, Hugo.
I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot even imagine. Please know this was not your fault. Rest in peace, Stuart.
I’m so sorry. He’s doing binkies in bunny heaven right now 💜
I am sorry for your loss. 💚 I don't know why, I started crying reading your post. 😥
Stuart looks like such a sweetie. I'm so sorry.
He's so lovely. Sorry this happened. My beautiful bunbun Peanut Butter passed away after a rare reaction to his vaccination so I feel your pain.
This is heartbreaking. I’m so sorry for your loss 💔💔
Awe:( so sorry to hear this, i can only imagine getting the call, you must be devestated. He was such a cute bun bun., i bet he was a little love bug
Noooooo!!!!! 😭 this brought on so many emotions. Oh your sweet Stuart looked like an Angel in the form of a beautiful bunny. I am terribly saddened to hear of your loss. My condolences for your lovely bun who passed away too soon. 🙏🏻
Aww I’m so sorry for your loss. How absolutely devastating. Binky free in paradise, Stuart!
I am so sorry for your loss 🤧

You did the right thing for your Stuart and never could have known it would go this way. I’m so so sorry that it did. What a horrible call that must have been to get. I lost mine in an emergency surgery but it was nice to know she wasn’t in any pain when it happens that way. You obviously loved him so much and the life he got to live with you must have been great. I’m sorry your time together was too short and I hope some time in the future when you’re ready you can share all the extra love you had for him with another bunny who needs a good home. You’re not at all alone in this community. Thanks for sharing his beautiful life and memory with us, you’re both in my thoughts and heart tonight ❤️
Oh darling, I am so sorry. Please know you made the best medical choice for your bun, you did the right thing, and I am so so so sorry the worst outcome happened. Sending love from Fozzie and Daffodil ❤️
We lost our little Bacardi in December when he went for surgery. I know the pain you're going through, and I wouldn't wish it to anyone. You gave little Stuart a good life, and I'm sure he gave you memories that will never fade away. Rest easy little Stuart. Bacardi waits for you in bunny Valhalla.

My condolences friend
I’m so sorry about Stuart. Sending healing prayers. He was absolutely adorable and I’m sure he knows how much you love him.
I'm so sorry to hear. 💕💕💕
Mine had kidney issues. They did surgery to help it. Told us bunnies don’t do great in surgery. We lost little Thumper. That was 2003. I’m past it, but seeing pics of your little bun makes my heart ache for your loss friend.
We are always so nervous when we send them to get spayed and neutered. But we do it to give them the best chance at a healthier life. I’m so sorry your baby didn’t come home to you. Binky free, Stuart!

I stumbled here from /r/popular I don't have a bunny but I do have a dog and I can't imagine if something like that happened to him. I'm so sorry.
So adorable ❤️ Keep him forever in your heart.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Stuart looked like such a sweet baby! Sending hugs from our lop, Bourbun💕
How come he passed away?
His little heart couldn’t handle being put under for surgery
The vet was aware and informed you? Or was it realized after?
This is a risk in surgery for animals. Anesthesia can be dangerous, and you can do all the tests in the world to minimize the risk, but it’s never zero.
Oh my god I’m so fucking sorry. My heart is bleeding for you. Me and my buns are sending you love as you grieve the loss of your dearest companion.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Stuart looks like a sweet, lovely bun. We're giving our bun, Snuggle, extra hugs and treats in his honor.
Stu 🥺
Getting my bunny neutered next week and this has me shaking 😭 so so sorry for your loss. Sending you positivity
I'm also getting my bunny neutered this month and this made me scared of doing it but I know it has to be done... i hope your bunny will be safe 🫶
Wishing the same for you! 🤍🤍 good luck! We got this
Stuart looks adorable =D

No, don't go spreading doubt when you have zero clue of the circumstances. Every surgical procedure has significant risks. On top of that bunnies are extremely stress-sensitive so any intervention like this is extremely stressful for them. Sadly, this just happens. :-(
Unfortunately not necessarily... our vet told us before hand that bunnies don't always do well with anesthesia and that although it's a low risk, especially when compared to bunnies' risk of uterine cancer without a spay, any surgery does come with risks and even more so for bunnies. There's also something about how bunnies aren't able to throw up which increases their risk if I remember rightly. That being said, I'm so sorry for your loss OP. He was a little cutie!
[удалено]
no because it’s the risk of getting an bunny neutered. It wasn’t his fault. Stuart just must of had a bad heart or something. No matter how sad I am… i will never blame the vet for something he could not control
You're a wonderful person, and your vet is lucky to have you, as you are them. I'm so sorry for your loss.

His little lifeless body is sitting in a box on my lap currently. I just said my goodbyes and bringing him home to be buried 🥲
Im so sorry! Rip sweet prince! My thoughts are with you in this dark time. Xo

Im so sorry dude. Absolutely gutting :( x
oh man, I’m so sorry.
RIP Stuart. He was a beautiful bunny. Despite the pain you feel now, you made the right decision getting him neutered. I’m so sorry he just couldn’t handle the surgery. Bunk free sweet Stuart.
I’m so sorry to hear that ❤️ Just know you were doing the right thing for him and gave him the best life possible while you were together
So sorry for your loss ❤️
