  Hey guys! I have a blue tort holland lop who is 4 and a half months old now. Her name is Cuddle and she’s probably the best pet I could ever hope for.I have been planning on have her spayed in the near future. So far i have taken her to Colonial Park Animal Clinic in Harrisburg, PA, which is one of the few animal clinics that can treat rabbits near where i live, and they quoted me $285 for her spay surgery. I am not a experienced enough bunny owner to know if thats the usual cost or otherwise too high. However, I do notice the doctor is planning on using Sevoflurance anesthesia during the surgery, which is not what the House Rabbit Society website suggests (isoflurance).
  
  I just want to ask if what the doctor plans on using would be safe for the bunny or if it is the best choice. I have only been there once so I am not sure if the vet is truly rabbit-savvy. The clinic was obviously very busy but only filled with cats and dogs.

  Im not familiar with sevoflurane. Medirabbit does list it as one of the more commonly used gases, along with isoflurane. I believe it works quicker and they come around quicker.

  Did the clinic give you specific information for rabbit surgery? Dosage of sevoflurane is different for rabbits as far as I can tell. Lower then what cats receive.
