as we speak.
yesterday was the first appointment I could get about her baldness (http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?t=120769) and he says she has overgrown molars. The baldness is due to excessive drooling.
Now the vets who originally performes the incisor removal led me to believe that, providing she survived the op, it was pretty much side effect free, that she'd be able to eat everything she could before provided it was cut up etc and that was the only downside. She has since developed infections in the hole left by her top incisors, she has eaten nothing but pellets since the op and as a result has not had enough roughage. This has caused molar spurs so she is now going under again to have them filed down
I am a loose end. My poor little mite is having to go through yet another GA because of a STUPID decision that I made. I thought I was doing the right thing and reducing the stress for her by having the incisors removed but it has just caused her even more pain and distress.
Is there ANYTHING I can do to help prevent this happening again. Besides the fact that these operations put her under an enormous strain, I can't afford to shell out £140 every time she needs her molars filing down. I feel trapped, cheated by the last vets and desperately guilty that my poor little girl is having to go through all this. A spare vibe and some advice would be hugely appreciated.
thanks
