ABSTRACT

Ovariohysterectomy (OHE), commonly known as spaying, is a surgical practice to aggressive behavior and prevent unwanted breeding of female animals. The purpose of this case study was to perform the standard surgical method of a local breed female rabbit, 8 months old and weighing 2 kg. The surgery was performed under general anesthesia using a standard open surgical approach. After the successful operation, the rabbit was kept in a clean squeeze cage for seven days. In addition, povidone iodine ointment was used until the wound was completely healed. Post-operative complications were observed during the patient’s follow-up. This surgical procedure for rabbit spaying was simple, inexpensive, and highly effective.
