wet chin?

I have had my rabbit for one week and although occasionally nervous she is a very happy rabbit who enjoys running around the house.

Over the past couple of days Ive noticed her chin is a bit damp, she has uneven teeth which I was told about when I adopted her. She is eating her food and veggies as usual.

Any advice about what this could be is appreciated, Im going to try and ring the vets today.
 
I would agree, my Molly quite often has a wet chin and she has to have dental work.

Good luck with the vets.

Agree with the others, wet chin can be a sign of teeth needing attention so does need to see a vet.

It can also be if they are drinking out of a bowl rather than a bottle, they may get their chin wet.

You need a good rabbit savvy vet if your bunny has teeth problems. If they do a dental and give a GA I would advise that you ask for an X-ray to be taken to assess the full extent of any dental problems - it is also a reference for any future changes.

Hope she gets sorted out OK.
 
Two of mine have had this - most recently was Izzy. She had a tiny conscious dental and hasn't had a wet chin since.:D
 
Thanks guys for the advice really appreciate it!

I am quite concerned about her but in herself she seems ok.

Got her booked at the vets after work tommorow evening!

I just hope shes ok at the vets as she is quite a nervous bun bless her she had a tough start in life until the RSPCA found her, just want her to be happy an comfy now she has a perminant home!
