Uterine cancer

Uterine cancer is a serious risk for intact female rabbits. Reported incidence rates have ranged from 50%-80% in female rabbits over 4 years of age, especially in certain breeds. For this reason alone, rescues and veterinarians strongly recommend the spaying of female non-breeding rabbits.
