The Windward Animal Hospital is now offering a low-cost spay and neuter program for rabbits! As most rabbit owners know, rabbit surgery is a costly procedure with spays and neuters usually costing hundreds of dollars. More importantly, due to the delicate nature and special needs of rabbits, it is of the utmost importance that a rabbit experienced veterinarian perform the procedure.
Dr. Colby from the Windward Animal Hospital has been entrusted to the care of rabbits throughout the state and is the veterinarian for the Georgia House Rabbit Society, a rabbit rescue and shelter located in Cobb County.
Seeing the need for affordable spays and neuters, the Windward Animal Hospital has made this commitment which will benefit rabbit enthusiasts and rabbit welfare throughout the state.
Through our Low cost program, we offer neuters for $130 and spays for $150*
( *Please call to verify the current costs of our low-cost services. The prices can fluctuate depending on costs of medical supplies & meds).
Please read the letter below from Dr. Stewart Colby for more information about this program. Feel free to call the Windward Animal Hospitals with questions or to schedule an appointment.
“I have and continue to work with the Georgia House Rabbit Society of Georgia (GHRS) for several years. In working with them I have found that, while there is any number of programs available for low-cost canine and feline spay and neuter organizations, there are not many options for the rabbit community. Windward Animal Hospital (WAH), with the support of GHRS, is attempting to change that for the residents of the greater Atlanta area. While the health and social benefits to spaying (ovariohysterectomy) and neutering (castration) rabbits are well documented, most veterinarians are not fully trained or have limited experience associated with rabbit’s health care issues and surgeries. Through much experience I believe rabbit health care is more of an art form than an exact science. Additionally pet/companion rabbits are just as important to their caregivers as dogs, birds and cats and deserve the same level of health care.”
— Dr. Stewart Colby
