:shock: ok im still shocked..poor bif had rasping and clipping of her molars done.....without ga..wide awake.....im happy she didnt have a ga with her gi stasis at the mo but worried sick for her...i just rang up and asked if shed had painkillers..was told dont know vet hasnt completed paperwork...ring back inhalf an hour.....its not a painful procedure....wtf!!:shock::shock:

i wished id been able to wait until rob was back off holiday next week:(

im ringing back at 5past 4 to see if hes managed to complete his notes going back to gosport.......mm must be radu bringing bif back to cowplain branch...

fingers crossed bifs not overly traumatised..how the hell did they keep her still:shock:
 
I know it sounds horrible and there are mixed feelings about it but Barney has had this done a few times and he has never seemed bothered by it. Just give him loads of cuddles when you get her back :D
 
Our very rabbit savvy vet does conscious dentals all the time where possible to avoid having the use GA. They use a dental gag to keep the mouth open and it only takes minutes this way. Much less risk of stasis.

mind oyu he did say if they were really really bad hed have to put her under to do it so they werent as bad as when shes had dentals before..phew....

shes been very relaxed this evening..snoozing almost on her back in her cat litter tray..bandit has one too and they share or snooze seprately for a little while..she lay there for over 15mins showing me her tummy!
