BettyBunny
Young Bun
Hi i'm laura and my rabbit is called Betty
I have had an ongoing problem.
I first asked the vet to cut her tooth while being castrated (betty is acually a boy but i know her as a girl )
When i picked her up she had blood all over her face and was still limp from the drugs. The vet told me she has banged her face on the cage when coming round.
When we got home ( and after she came round fully) i found that the front tooth the were supposed to trim was gone, all that was left was a bloody stump in the gum.
I probley dont need to tell you that i have since changed vets.
The tooth never grew back either and not long later a lump started developing and i took her to the new vet. They had her in to remove the lump.
Now 5 months from having the lump removed it is back and alot worse, i came back from the vets today and they have said that i can either try the surgary again although the prognosis is poor and they have suggested she is put down.
Betty is a healthy two year old bunny that eats well and plays with toys and doesn't seem at all effected by this lump, apart from when it is getting too big in her mouth like now, and she has to eat 1 sweety at a time instead of two!!
I want to know if there is anything else that can be done, i dont want to loose her
