Hi,
I've just got back from the vet with Thumper where he's had tooth spurs removed. (2nd time in 2 weeks! this time at a different vet who seems far more rabbit savvy)
The problem seems to be his teet are misaligned and the upper teeth dont fit properly with the bottom so its when rather than if he needs them done again. The vet also said his front upper teeth are also very very short (only a couple of milimeter showing)
My question is
If he's 15 months old now but no previous sign of a problem, how long will it be before he needs another dental op? (The vet wants to see him in 6 weeks to check up on him. Is it likely that any spurs will have regrown that quickly?). I read that diet can affect tooth growth and he does have plenty of hay and some veg so hopefully that will help.
I know this is probably a daft question but can anything be done for mis aligned teeth?
