Answer
Dear Sharon,

I think this will help for starters:

Once you've had a look, please write back to me with any specific questions you might have.  Also, PLEASE be sure the vet who's doing the operation is very experienced with rabbits, and has had a lot of success with this surgery. Many dog/cat vets will tell you they can spay a rabbit, and then....let's just leave it at that.

You can find an experienced rabbit vet here:

I hope that helps.  Please write back with any other questions.
