Bunny Week

I see a lot of rabbits in my practice. They make great pets and a lot of people are really bonded to their bunnies! This week I had some unique breeds in for neutering, 2 Angoras and a Flemish Giant. The pic's of one of the Angoras. He was a lovely rabbit, very calm and he really enjoyed cuddling! They're not for everyone though, as they require a fair bit of grooming to keep them looking their best! The Flemish Giant was a completely different kettle of fish. At 15 pounds, he could put some power behind his kicks!

His surgery was a little different too. Once he was under anesthetic, I confirmed that he was cryptorchid, meaning only 1 testicle had descended properly. As a result, I had to go hunting in his abdomen for the second testicle. If I'd left it behind, not only would it have continued to produce hormones, but it would have been prone to developing cancer too. Luckily I found it sitting near his bladder and swiftly removed it! The pic in the top right corner of this post is of the two testicles. The little, underdeveloped one is the one that was hiding in the abdomen.
